Knicks land Kevin McCullar Jr with the 56th pick in 2024 NBA Draft

What a wild second round that turned out to be.

On Day Two of the 2024 NBA Draft, the Knicks walked away with not just two more players, but a third. With the 56th pick, they landed Kevin McCullar, Jr. of Kansas, to go along with Tyler Kolek and Ariel Hukporti (selected earlier). Yesterday, Leon Rose & Co. used the 25th pick to take 18-year-old Pacome Dadiet of France.

The details behind the acquisition of the 56th pick are fuzzy, with New York apparently receiving it from Phoenix via Denver via Minnesota via Oklahoma City.
