CHICAGO — The Knicks have a new coach and they know where they’re going to pick in next month’s draft. Now the real work begins.
A Knicks contingent, including team president Steve Mills, GM Scott Perry, assistant GM Gerald Madkins and coach David Fizdale are in Chicago for the NBA Draft Combine that begins Thursday.
Those four, plus one or two Knicks scouts, will interview the prospects, which Perry said is a critical part of the process for a team that’s rebuilding and stressing player development.
“To me that’s as important as evaluating talent,” Perry said.
