Knicks Take Obi Toppin At Eighth Overall
4 years agoThe New York Knicks have used the eighth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft on Dayton big Obi Toppin. The 22-year-old is on the older end of this draft class but is incredibly athletic and explosive. He averaged 20 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game last season for the Flyers. His offensive ability should give him an instant role on this Knicks team and make him an interesting late-round fantasy pick, though his defensive struggles in college present some serious issues when it comes to projecting him going forward, and the logjam of bigs in New York could present some issues as well, limiting his upside.
