Ignas Brazdeikis, the Knicks’ second-round pick, showed plenty of dazzle in summer league in Las Vegas, averaging 15.4 points on 51 percent shooting, including a 30-point outing. He looked like a more efficient scorer than top pick RJ Barrett.
But since training camp commenced, the Michigan man is finding Vegas in July is not the same as the real deal in October. Brazdeikis is still looking for his first points of the preseason.
After not playing in the preseason opener in Washington, Brazdeikis entered late in the first quarter Friday and that coincided with Washington’s big run.
