The New York Knicks continue to schedule pre-draft workouts with sleeper prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft. It’s a common strategy from a traditional sense, but New York’s workouts carry a different measure of weight.
The Knicks are in possession of two second-round draft picks and an intriguing track record of finding a diamond in the rough.
New York acquired center Willy Hernangomez in the second round of the 2015 NBA Draft. It was an underrated moved when it transpired, but Hernangomez solidified his place as a key member of the organization’s future in 2016-17.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, the latest second-round prospect to emerge on New York’s radar is Wisconsin Badgers star Nigel Hayes.
