The New York Knicks announced their Summer League schedule for the 2024 edition of the mid-year tournament on June 28 and it’s kinda saucy.
Saucy because there will be a Knicks vs. Nets smacked right in the middle of July, and also because New York will get to face three lottery picks including two top-7 draftees from the class of 2024.
In their matchups against the Hornets and the Pistons, thanks to the ugly play of these two squads and the fruits the draft yielded for them, the Baby Knicks will play against a couple of studs.
The Pistons and the Hornets had back-to-back first-round picks and drafted Ron Holland II from the G League Ignite and Tidjane Salaun from France respectively. Those two are the most high-profile young players New York will play against in a couple of weeks with the Nets not having a first-round pick coming off the 2024 draft and the Kings drafting Devin Carter from Providence with the No. 13 pick.
At the end of June, the Knicks drafted four youngsters, landing first-round pick Pacome Dadiet to go with a trio of second-rounders in Ariel Hukporti, Tyler Kolek, and Kevin McCullar.
Although New York has not released their official Summer Squad yet, it’s fair to assume the foursome will get some reps in Vegas in a few days with Kolek locked into a regular-season role with the big boys and perhaps McCullar too not long after the 2024-25 season tips off, assuming Dadiet and Hukporti are stashed overseas.
