Knicks target former top-10 prospect to replace Mitchell Robinson
Summary

A rumor indicates the New York Knicks may pursue former top-10 prospect Jayden Quaintance in the upcoming NBA Draft on June 23, 2026. Mitchell Robinson, the team's center and impending free agent, could receive offers that the Knicks may not match. Quaintance, previously projected as a top-10 pick, is sliding down draft boards due to health issues but could be available when the Knicks select at 24th. There are also reports that the Knicks may trade up to secure him if he remains high on their draft list. The team aims to strengthen its roster following a championship win this past season.
