The New York Knicks found success in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft, picking Mitchell Robinson 36th overall. It was not their own pick, however, as it originated with the Chicago Bulls, went to the Oklahoma City Thunder and followed to the Knicks in the September, 2017 trade for Carmelo Anthony.
A similar situation exists in 2019. New York does not have its own second-round pick. Instead, they have Houston’s, which places No. 55 overall.
So what happened to the pick that is now No. 31?
In 2014, weeks into Phil Jackson‘s run as president of basketball operations, he traded Travis Outlaw and the 2019 second-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers for Arnett Moultrie.
