For me, that's just past the point of bad luck and quickly into the territory of colossal failure.
This is the kind of thing that sets teams back by years IMHO. Invest heavily in draft; relationships with players, other FO's; and development plans within your team dynamic. Those are the things that are not salary cap cost prohibitive and do it wisely.

The Knox pick was driven by the FO wanting to keep Fizdale happy. He was a hot commodity at the time. A young coach who was courted by several teams, and chose the Knicks.
Tarrytown is now Fort Knox because Fizdale fell in love with his three-on-three workout versus Miles Bridges in an empty Westchester gym 15 days ago. Fizdale lobbied brass to overlook Mikal Bridges’ ability in the clutch and leadership on the biggest stages the past three seasons on two NCAA-title-winning title teams

We are Knicks. We never take the straight path

Yup
Bridges is here now, and on a much better Knicks squad, with his old Nova teammates, so maybe it all worked out for the best.

Who knows how it all would have worked the last years with different players. Obviously in hindsight you don't take Knox, but all that happened after that draft would be different as our would our record, Draft positions, etc. Wiz does good, maybe lasts a year or two longer, Thibs signs elsewhere? Stuff that like that. Domino effect in place is mind numbing if you retrace it all. Some would be good, and some other things not. Knox must have had a hell of a work out!!!!
