Duke star Zion Williamson certainly looks like a good bet to be the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, but it’s a fun game figuring out where he’ll play and who he’ll play with.
The New York Knicks are certainly in line to have a decent chance of landing the top pick, and they will also have cap space to burn this offseason. That has led to rumors that they’ll pursue one or both of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, plus the likes of Anthony Davis via trade.
There are many moving parts at the NBA level, but Williamson can’t really control his ultimate destination. That said, he unsurprisingly thinks it would be pretty neat to enter the league playing with such stars.

Knicks fans, who already have their recruiting shoes on, will definitely encourage this. We’re a long, long way from it becoming anything close to reality, however.
