NBA Draft 2020: Mock Draft for full lottery
By Tony Pesta
The New York Knicks are desperately looking for a reliable prospect to run their offense. They have a promising rookie in R.J. Barrett but would benefit greatly from a steady decision-maker such as Nico Mannion.
Mannion has been arguably the best point guard in the NCAA this year and has helped lead Arizona to a 19-9 record. He is smart with the ball in his hands and understands how to orchestrate an offense.
As a freshman, Mannion has started in each game and is averaging 13.6 points and 5.3 assists per game. He is exceptional at creating shots for himself and will hold his own on the defensive end due to his energy level.
