New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson insists that the franchise is optimistic about the future despite their struggles this season.

New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson remains optimistic about the franchise's future despite their troubled season this year.

The Knicks are set to secure a top-four Draft pick, while they will also have significant salary cap space to rebuild their roster.

Jackson has hinted that the team will look to acquire a defensive presence first, and could use their high Draft pick to select a top prospect.

"If you sit around [picking] in the 20s and the late teens when you're drafting players, you're not going to move the franchise ahead," Jackson said, ESPN reports.

"You've got to have a high Draft pick to do that. They're the ones that really move the franchise ahead. And this is our opportunity. It may be a godsend in the end result."

However, both Jackson and general manager Steve Mills have also conceded that they could listen to offers for their Draft pick.
