New York Knicks: Is Ignas Brazdeikis another steal in the second round?

New York Knicks picked two players in this year’s draft, with RJ Barrett receiving all the attention but second-rounder Ignas Brazdeikis could be another home run. Remember how Mitchell Robinson turned out?

Brazdeikis could be an impactful player and the Knicks even traded up to draft him. The question, though, is how does he work into a crowded rotation, especially with a full 15-man roster of guaranteed contracts? The short answer: shooting.

As a freshman for the Michigan Wolverines, Brazdeikis averaged 14.8 points and shot nearly 40 percent from the three-point line.
