... and to be fair to the Knicks, most mocks have Toppin going 4 or 5, so I imagine they were pretty delighted to have him slip all the way to 8.

Now, I had Haliburton above Toppin on my board-- I thought the Hawks should've taken him at 6, tbh, though I had Okongwu in my Top 4, so I can't blame them either-- but hindsight is 20/20 and it's a one-year sample size. That said... yeah, considering the Knicks' pretty drastic PG need, it'd definitely be nice for them to have Haliburton instead of Toppin in the next 1-2 years.
