Knicks take Kevin McCullar Jr. with their final pick in 2024 NBA Draft

The Knicks’ draft is complete.

After a series of swaps and a roller coaster through the second round, the Knicks finished Thursday by drafting Kansas’s Kevin McCullar Jr. at No. 56 and German Ariel Hukporti at No. 58.

He blossomed as a senior last season with the Jayhawks, averaging 18.3 points, and might’ve been an All-American if he hadn’t missed the end of the season — and the NCAA Tournament — with a knee bone bruise.The biggest concern is offensively and whether he’ll be able to score enough in the NBA to earn a spot on the court.

Hukporti, 22, is a physical rim runner and rim protector with a high motor. He seems to know his role.“I’m pretty defensive. Running up and down. I’m a hard worker. Defensively, guarding guards on switches and running down the floor and being a lob,” Huporti said after a workout with the Pacers. Miles McBride underwent a “procedure” this week on his pinkie toe, according to the Knicks, who announced on X that the guard is “expected to resume basketball activities later this summer.”
