In the weeks leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft, one of the prospects whom the New York Knicks were most consistently linked to was Luke Kornet. The Vanderbilt Commodores star worked out for New York and expressed an interest in playing in the triangle offense.
Although Kornet wasn’t selected with one of the 60 picks at the 2017 NBA Draft, he’ll have a chance to live out that dream.
New York utilized its first-round selection on 6’5″ point guard Frank Ntilikina. It surrounded him with depth and playmaking when it drafted shooting guard Damyean Dotson and point guard Ognjen Jaramaz during the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
