Draft night was a rollercoaster for anyone locked in on the New York Knicks. First, they traded pick No. 19 for a future first-rounder. Next, they flipped the 21st pick for the 25th and a future second-rounder from the Clippers.
However, they stayed put at 25 and drafted Quentin Grimes out of Houston. The initial reaction from experts and analysts was that the Knicks reached for Grimes. But remember, that was the reception to the Immanuel Quickley pick in 2021.
Although he doesn’t love the 3-and-D label, it’s an accurate archetype for Grimes right now.
