Knicks sign UCLA’s Kris Wilkes after NBA Draft

Kris WilkesThe Knicks stayed busy once the NBA Draft ended.

They signed UCLA standout Kris Wilkes to a two-way deal at the conclusion of the second round Thursday night, according to ESPN.

The 6-foot-8 wing averaged a team-leading 17.4 points points per game last season along with 4.8 rebounds while shooting 43.3 percent from the field. The 20-year-old played two seasons with the Bruins.

That marked the end of what was a crowd-pleasing night for the Knicks, who selected RJ Barrett No. 3 overall, drawing roars from fans at Barclays Center.

In the second round, the Knicks traded up from No. 55 to No. 47 to pick Michigan’s Ignas Brazdeikis, the Knicks’ second Canadian draft choice of the night.
