And who will Jackson take with that pick? It won’t be Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns, according to a report from the New York Post.

“They need a center with a big butt to hold space," says Charlie Rosen, who is one of Jackson’s closest friends. “Towns is not a big-enough body."
So, in theory, Jackson is all about the junk in the trunk.
The full quote by Rosen is pretty insane considering Towns is just 19 years old and will fill out to NBA size over the next five years.
Rosen comparing Towns in a wraparound way to Amundson, Smith and Bargnani is ridiculous on its face.
In any case, what this is code for is that the Knicks will definitely take Jahlil Okafor – noted butt-haver – if they can get him with whatever pick they secure.
Pull up quick to get wit ’em, Phil.
