What should have been the Knicks’ second first-round pick turned into their first.

The Knicks selected French guard Pacome Dadiet in the first round with the No. 25 pick after trading the No. 24 pick to the Wizards.

Washington sent the Knicks pick No. 26 and No. 51, according to The Athletic, and used what had originally been the Knicks’ first selection to draft Miami’s Kyshawn George.

Dadiet, 18, is 6-foot-8 guard weighing 210 pounds, according to Sports Illustrated.

He’s a young prospect whom the Knicks will have a chance to mold.

The ESPN broadcast crew praised him for his performance while playing in Germany, with one of the broadcasters saying his defense is a concern.

He was labeled as a “blank canvas.”

Dadiet joins a loaded Knicks roster that has cemented itself as a legit championship contender for the 2024 season with a pair of big moves in the last 24 hours.

The Knicks first acquired Mikal Bridges from the Nets to give them four former title-winning Villanova players, and then re-signed OG Anunoby for five years and $212.5 million Wednesday before the draft.

Dadiet figures to provide minutes off the bench.
