Knicks 2024 NBA Draft grades: New York comes up short, swings big on trade
NY Post
The Knicks made two trades and one of their selections in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Knicks gathered a handful of second-round selections in deals with the Wizards and Thunder, while using the No. 25 pick on 18-year-old French wing Pacome Dadiet.
The Knicks then selected Tyler Kolek, Kevin McCullar Jr. and Ariel Hukporti with a trio of second-round picks.
Here’s how The Post’s Knicks writer, Stefan Bondy, grades the picks:
One of the youngest prospects (18 years old) and a total project who says he’s not returning overseas as a draft-and-stash pick. Scouting reports mention his skilled shooting with upside as a 3-and-D with good size (6-foot-8; 218 pounds). But for a Knicks team in a win-now window, Dadiet probably isn’t ready to contribute as a rookie.
GRADE: C
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
