Sharp-shooting Luke Kornet gets taste of triangle in workout with Knicks

NBA executives already know that Vanderbilt’s Luke Kornet can shoot 3-pointers and block shots. It doesn't take a world-class scout to figure that out.

The 7-foot-1 center is the all-time NCAA leader in 3-point shots made by a player over seven-feet tall, and he also blocked 210 shots in his career.

Kornet actually accumulated more total 3-pointers and blocks in his senior season (124) than prospects such as Arizona’s Lauri Markkanen (88), Florida State’s Jonathan Isaac (80) and UCLA’s TJ Leaf (66).

So teams don’t need to scout Kornet in person to figure out he can knock down -- or block -- a shot.
