New York Knicks: Ignas Brazdeikis’ high school coach says he has ‘all the intangibles’

With the No. 47 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, the New York Knicks selected small forward Ignas Brazdeikis out of the University of Michigan. Seeing how he performed in the NBA Summer League, there’s a possibility that Brazdeikis could become one of the steals of this year’s draft.

Having tallied an average of 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and two assists through five games, Brazdeikis shot 51% from the field and 50% from behind the arc. His 30-point game against the Phoenix Suns caught the eyes of many.

However, Brazdeikis’ former high school coach didn’t seem surprised with what Brazdeikis was able to do on the court.
