The New York Knicks drafted Ignas Brazdeikis with the 47th pick in the second round of the 2019 NBA draft. Understandably so, the million-dollar question is, will this 20-year-old Canadian raised and Lithuanian born scoring phenom become the real deal for the Mecca of basketball?
Knicks coaching staff, members of the media (if they’re allowed to enter) and other Knick players will find out a month from now in training camp. Since us Knick fans have nothing but time in early August, it won’t hurt to imagine and question why wouldn’t Iggy Braz be the real deal and the real steal of the second round like Mitchell Robinson turned out to be from the 2018 draft.
