Draft prospect says Phil Jackson dozed during his workout with Knicks

Knicks president Phil Jackson, who confirmed this week that the team could be looking to move up in Thursday's NBA draft, dozed off during one top prospect's workout, the player told ESPN's Jay Williams.

Williams discussed the workout during Thursday's "Outside the Lines."

"A top-15 draft pick told me the other day, because we were involved in this conversation about Phil Jackson and the Knicks, and he said, 'Phil Jackson was falling in and out of sleep during my workout,"" Williams said.

Williams did not name the player or when the workout took place.
