Trae Young: I’d be ready for Knicks after college scrutiny

A lot would have to happen for the Knicks and Trae Young to be a draft match, but if that opportunity comes the Oklahoma star would embrace it.

“If I was able to be drafted by the Knicks, it’d be a blessing,” Young said on ESPN’s “First Take” Wednesday morning.

“That’s the mecca, that’s one of the biggest markets in the NBA, if not the biggest.”

Young’s stock slipped after skyrocketing in the beginning of the season — when he even earned comparisons to Steph Curry — after the Sooners’ foes honed in on how to stop him.
