The New York Knicks recently had a player enroll at Baylor University to join their basketball team. No, that is not any kind of joke, pun, or reference. James Nnaji, a 2023 NBA draft pick, played center for the Knicks' Summer League team in Las Vegas this past summer. He's now eligible to take the court for the Baylor Bears, which begs (at least) one immediate question: do the Knicks still have his draft rights? Does this 'reset' Nnaji's NBA tenure or is it simply a temporary stop in Texas?

Nnaji was 18 years old when the Detroit Pistons made him the 31st overall pick in his NBA draft.
