The Knicks don’t presently own a first-round selection in Wednesday night’s NBA Draft in Brooklyn.&nbsp;

That means they likely will have to wait until the event’s second day to make the first offseason addition to their roster, barring a trade.&nbsp;

While they wait for their current position at No. 50 overall in Thursday’s second round, the Knicks will watch the outcomes of the first two of the five first-rounders they shipped to the Nets <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/01/sports/the-mikal-bridges-blockbuster-has-a-clear-winner-at-least-for-now/">in the Mikal Bridges deal</a> last summer.&nbsp;

Brooklyn received what turned out to be the No. 19 pick via Milwaukee in the swap, plus the Knicks’ scheduled pick at No. 26.
