NBA fans love the idea of a player being a project until that player turns out to... Actually be a project. Pacome Dadiet, the Knicks' first-round pick in 2024, is the definition of a project. He was drafted as a teenager who played 26 professional basketball games before coming stateside (and averaged 4.6 points in those games).
We're about a year and a half into Dadiet's NBA career, which hasn't been much of a career to this point. Dadiet has spent most of his time in the G League, playing just 29 games with the big league club — most of them coming in garbage time at the end of blowouts.
