Knicks On SI 2025 NBA Draft Tracker

In this story:
Despite the lack of New York Knicks, the NBA is about to gain a freshman 30.
The Association descends upon New York City on Wednesday and Thursday night, coming to Brooklyn to select 60 names in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Dallas Mavericks hold the top selection entering Wednesday night's activities and will likely select Duke phenom Cooper Flagg with the debut pick.
Thanks to their trade with this week's Brooklyn hosts, the Knicks will not take the podium in the opening round, carrying only the 50th pick on Thursday night entering these proceedings.
Even with the lack of Manhattan representation (for now), keep track of the first round commotion below ...
