They have the 50th chosen in the second round of Thursday evening of the NBA Draft of 2025.
Who he likes?
As we have noticed previously The reboundNew York hosted the former great Alabama and Rutgers man Clifford Omoruyi As part of a group training this week.
Speaking with the opposing teams this week, the name that continued to come was that of the State of Florida Jamir Watkins. Watkins has several fans in the organization of the Knicks. Several opposing teams do not think that the Knicks would allow Watkins to slide beyond number 50.
Watkins will be there at n. 50? The most recent draft of Espn has Watkins who goes to n. 38.
Watkins, a 6 feet guard-6, scored on average 18.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 stolen per game as senior.
It can defend multiple positions and is seen as a solid defender on the ball. The Catholic product of Trenton on average 1.9 steals like Junior in the State of Florida.

Borrego -Up Next
James Borrego He will have an interview with the Knicks for their vacant place with coaches, confirm the sources of the League. Borrego is an assistant with New Orleans. He has a coaching experience, but he is the second assistant coach of current interview with the Knicks. New York brought the veteran assistant Micah nori At the beginning of this week for an interview.
The other known interviews of the Knicks are Taylor Jenkins AND Mike Brown. The coaches spoke of the opportunity that the Knicks have in front of them – given the devastating wounds to the stars of the Eastern Conference Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum AND Damian Lillard –in interviews. The importance of the health of the players was also discussed in the interviews.
Always in the search for coaching, Dallas Mavericks General Director Nico Harrison has released the strongest declaration to date on the future of Jason Kidd.
"Are there voices out on J-Kidd? I was thinking of closing them" Harrison told Dallas journalists. "Yes, he will be the coach head next year."
Kidd has been seen as a possibility for the Knicks, so Harrison’s strong declaration is noteworthy. The Maverick had previously denied the request of the Knks to speak with Kidd but had not publicly faced the items.
If you look at the landscape, the logic says that Kidd will receive an extension from the MAV. Houston’s Ime Udoka and Chicago’s Billy Donovan Both received extensions after the Knicks have requested-E have been denied-the permission to speak with them of the vacant place. (The extension of Udoka, according to Espn, was in progress well before the Knicks request)
However, Kidd has a veteran representation at the Excel Sports Agency. So you would think that all the voices on Kidd and Knicks would entail further compensation for the coach head.
