Mo Diawara's case for a spot in Knicks' playoff rotation keeps making itself
Knicks vs. Trail Blazers | Brad Penner-Imagn ImagesThe New York Knicks keep looking smarter for their selection in the 2025 NBA Draft, where they grabbed Mo Diawara with the 51st overall pick. The rookie has impressed on both ends of the court this season, from winning Defensive Player of the Game for his coverage of Jaylen Brown to his most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, where he scored 14 points in just under 15 minutes of playing time. Head coach Mike Brown said after the game that Diawara is the "most confident young man" he's been around, adding credence to his case for a spot in the Knicks' playoff rotation.
