    But he will say this.

    He hopes the Knicks’ selection at No. 8 is the last lottery pick the team makes in a while.

    “I’d say this whether I was in New York or Indiana, I hope it’s my last lottery pick. I never really want to be in the lottery,” Walsh told reporters at the team’s Westchester campus.

    Read the full story here.

    Also, here’s a good story from today’s New York Times on mock drafts and how the people running them claim it’s all fool’s gold.

    And here’s Gary Parrish forecasting the NBA Draft’s booms and busts.
