Phil Jackson selects Kristaps Porzingis, but the Knicks have not had much success picking guys from overseas:
Frederic Weis, France, C
Year: 1999. Round: 1(15)
Note: Call him French Toast or the Human Hurdle (just Google Vince Carter and dunk — it’s not pretty).
Nene, Brazil, F/C
Year: 2002. Round: 1(7)
Note: 14-year NBA vet, part of infamous Antonio McDyess trade, never played for Knicks.
Milos Vujanic, Serbia, G
Year: 2002. Round: 2(35)
Note: Not a lot to say here.
