The Knicks continue to send Dadiet back and forth between Westchester and New York.

He was the 25th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft this past summer.

At just 19, Dadiet will have a lot of time to develop into a rotational NBA player.

In five G League games, he is averaging 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 40.3% from the field and 22.6% from the three-point range.
