Pacome Dadiet, the New York Knicks’ rookie forward, is making waves in the G-League after a standout performance against the Maine Celtics, scoring a career-high 25 points alongside five rebounds. Dadiet's seven three-pointers played a crucial role in securing Westchester a playoff berth, showcasing his shooting prowess and potential to contribute at the NBA level. Despite minimal NBA playing time this season, this performance signals his growth as a player.
The Knicks have struggled with forward depth, and Dadiet’s versatility could be pivotal as they navigate injuries to key players. With Jalen Brunson and others sidelined, Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks could be an opportunity for Dadiet to earn more minutes, possibly even see extended action. His recent performance has sparked discussions about his future role within the Knicks as they aim for a stronger second unit.
