0 comments by on 6/26/2015

For the first time in 30 years, the New York Knicks made a selection in the top 5 of the NBA draft.

Tip us in on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Someone buy David West’s agent a round. He might need it here sometime before the end of the night.

The Kentucky product has been with Sacramento for five years, and the Kings have a 131-263 record (a .332 win […]
