The New York Knicks are reportedly “dying” for the lottery balls to be on their side in order to have a chance to draft University of Washington guard Markelle Fultz, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

The Huskies point man was sixth in the nation in scoring as a freshman and was invited to Madison Square Garden to see the Knicks take on the Toronto Raptors earlier today.

New York will likely be in the search of a point guard this summer after waiving Brandon Jennings earlier this season and a season-ending injury to Derrick Rose, who is unlikely to be re-signed by the franchise.

Fultz has a definite scorer's mentality, but has a decent floor game as well, averaging 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds to go with 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks.

The Maryland native is expected to be a lottery pick and at 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, has an NBA-ready body to put him in a position to start as a rookie.

The Knicks (30-51) are currently the sixth-worst team in the league, giving them a 21.5 percent chance to land a top-three pick and a slim 6.3 percent probability to get the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Prior to pre-draft workouts, Fultz is a consensus No. 1 pick due to his athleticism and five-category skill set — he has a prototype size for the point guard position and an excellent instinct for putting the ball through the hoop.

The Boston Celtics, who will get the No. 1 pick conditionally from the Brooklyn Nets, have the best chance (25 percent) at landing Fultz with the first pick.
