NEW YORK _ It was 25 years ago that the Knicks won the lottery and as soon as they secured the first selection of the NBA draft there was no doubt who it would be, as they picked Patrick Ewing to head the franchise for the next decade. And Friday night, there was perhaps even less ambiguity about who the No. 1 overall pick would be in the WNBA draft, bound for New York.
If there was little surprise, there was the same sort of expectations as the Liberty made it official, taking Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu with the No. 1 pick.
The moment that they made the pick shoutouts came on social media from the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who will share the Barclays Center court with Ionescu.
