Knicks sign American prodigy UDFA Dink Pate
After picking French forward and potential draft-and-stash Mohamed Diawara with the No. 51 pick of the 2025 NBA draft’s second round, the New York Knicks stayed active and signed an absolute phenom in exquisite undrafted guard Dink Pate.
The Knicks have signed Pate to an Exhibit 10 deal, and he’s expected to join the team for Las Vegas Summer League starting July 11.
Pate, barely 19 years old, is a G League product with two years' worth of reps under his belt, having played for both the Ignite in the 2023-24 campaign and then the Mexico City Capitanes last season. Dink also made history as the youngest professional basketball player in U.S. history, surpassing Scoot Henderson by five weeks.
