The Knicks are signing the last pick of the draft, Ariel Hukporti, to a two-way contract, Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype reports (Twitter link).
The German-born big man spent the 2023/24 season in Australia with Melbourne United, averaging 8.4 PPG, 7.0 RPG and 1.5 BPG in 28 games (18.4 MPG).
New York made multiple trades in the second round and wound up with the final pick, where it snagged Hukporti. All of the Knicks’ two-way slots are open, though they have a two-way qualifying offer on the table for Jacob Toppin.
