The New York Knicks will enter the 2019 NBA Draft with two picks. Their first-round selection, unless traded, should suit up for the 2019-20 campaign. The other draft choice, the 55th overall pick, might not.
While 60 players hear their names called on draft day, not all of them play a minute in the NBA regular season. Whether due to international commitments or just never cracking the pro roster, some players never record an official stat.
The other situations involve draft-day trades or transactions afterward. One player might walk onto the stage wearing a Detroit Pistons hat, but leave the show venue with a San Antonio Spurs hat.
