Knicks snag two more guards in the second round of NBA draft

Knicks president Phil Jackson talked about wanting guards in the draft and pulled off a trifecta.

After nabbing point guard Frank Ntilikina in the lottery, Jackson took two guards in the second round, including a 6-foot-6 shooting guard with a sketchy past but a solid offensive game.

With the 44th pick, the Knicks tabbed Damyean Dotson, a senior who played two years at Oregon and two years at Houston. He got kicked out of Oregon after being investigated on a forcible rape charge in 2014. Charges never were filed and he filed his own $10 million lawsuit that got dismissed.
