Dadiet is one of the youngest players in the draft, still just 18 years old, and will be a draft-and-stash development project for the Knicks. His size and strength at 6-foot-8 along the perimeter is what first stands out when he plays, and he's showing more signs as a poised playmaker off the wing, finishing his season in Germany for Ratiopharm Ulm on a high note.

The fact that Kolek fell out of the first round with his body of work at Marquette is a head scratcher. He led all college players in assists, averaging 7.7 per game, and is a solid floor general who the Knicks can depend on in the second unit.

McCullar would have been an All-American his senior year if it wasn't for his knee injury. He was the No. 1 scoring option and part of a great guard-center tandem alongside Hunter Dickinson in the high pick-and-roll. He recently got his knee scoped, citing no structural damage, but being the older player in this draft compounded with the injury might be the reason he fell.
