The New York Knicks’ brain trust took a trip down south a few weeks ago to work out Florida State wing Devin Vassell and Alabama point guard Kira Lewis Jr. Head coach Tom Thibodeau and Leon Rose’s No. 1 capo, Worldwide Wes were in the audience watching Vassell and Lewis, and apparently came away impressed with both.
But now the game begins. If they want Vassell or Lewis, both players will likely be available when the Knicks pick at No. 8. Then again, they could fall a bit, and maybe — just maybe — be available if the Knicks trade back.
