New York Knicks: 2019 NBA Draft rankings, stats after opening night

4. Nassir Little, UNC

Position: Guard/Forward
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 220 pounds
Opening night: 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3-for-5 shooting

For one of the nation’s most hyped recruits, it was a quiet night for North Carolina’s star, Nassir Little. He only took five shots but made three of them, and two came from behind the arc. The 2 blocks even showcased his intriguing physical tools.

Bigger scoring outputs will make Little’s mark in the pre-draft process. Those will come around eventually as he develops into an all-around talent for the Tar Heels.

Little could be the latest physical talent that slides into a group of Porzingis, Robinson, Kevin Knox and Frank Ntilikina. Mesh them together, and it’s a group with all the potential to succeed.

3. Cameron Reddish, Duke

Position: Guard/Forward
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 215 pounds
Opening night: 22 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, 6-for-14 shooting

The Duke trio overtakes the top three, starting with Cameron Reddish. He may sit behind Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett, but that’s no disservice to how impressive the 6-foot-8 standout already looks.

On 6-for-14 shooting and 3 three-pointers, Reddish delivered 22 points and racked up 4 steals. So the perceived two-way play was already on display that makes him special.

Reddish could stand to add weight, but a team’s ability to use him all over the court, along with the shooting and defensive work, makes this frosh a sure-fire top pick. It’s a realistic player for the New York Knicks, too.
