The New York Knicks have been active in trades, landing Mikal Bridges and selecting French guard Pacome Dadiet in the draft. Dadiet, an 18-year-old guard, has potential as a shooter and defender. The Knicks turned their first-round picks into multiple second-round picks, preparing for the future.
The team aims to develop young talent like Dadiet to balance their roster as current players become more expensive. Although Dadiet may not get much playing time initially due to the coach's preference for starters, his rookie contract could be valuable in the long run.
