Phil Jackson's second move Thursday night probably was more popular than his first.
After drafting Latvian project forward Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth pick overall, the Knicks' president picked up another first-round talent by agreeing to trade Tim Hardaway Jr. to Atlanta for No. 19 selection Jerian Grant, the point guard out of Notre Dame.
Grant, 22, was a four-year starter for the Irish, averaging 14.6 points and 5.8 assists over 119 collegiate games. The son of former NBAer Harvey Grant -- and the older brother of Sixers forward Jerami Grant -- was a first-team All-American as a senior and led Notre Dame to the Elite Eight before losing to Kentucky.
