Point guard Trae Young said falling to nine in Thursday’s draft can still be “a great situation” because he would wind up a Knick and playing for new coach David Fizdale.
Appearing on WFAN to promote a new endorsement deal, the Oklahoma freshman guard often compared to Stephen Curry said his workout with the Knicks two weeks ago only enhanced his desire to play in New York. Young is not expected to fall to nine, with Orlando needing a point guard at six and Cleveland at eight.
“I really like it, I really like Coach Fizz and the whole organization,’’ said Young, who is in New York.
