Meet Kenny Wooten.
Wooten, the power forward from Oregon, has looked impressive as an athletic defender during the teams first two summer-league games, blocking four shots in 24 minutes.
The 21-year-old was likely earmarked for the Knicks at No. 55 had they not traded up in the second round to No. 47 to nab Ignas Brazdeikis, who pumped in 30 points in Sundays overtime loss to Phoenix.
They got Wooten anyway when he fell through the draft after he made a surprising decision to leave school instead of going back to the Ducks for his junior year.
They told me about that, Wooten said about the Knicks plan to take him at 55. But Im glad they got Iggy. You saw what he did right now [scoring 30 points in Sundays loss to the Suns]. Im proud of him. I have no complaints. [Trading up] was a really smart choice.

Everyone (fans) on twitter wants them to pivot and go after Oubre instead.

: Free agent Marcus Morris -- who committed to a two-year, $20M Spurs deal w/ player option -- is re-considering agreement. Morris is now considering a free agent deal with Knicks, who'll have additional cap space with reworking of Bullock deal.

the Rat will land Westbrook and Miami will compete for the 1 seed in the East. Book it.
Youre really overrating Westbrook.
A future first ballot HOFer, league MVP joining up with Butler and Whiteside in a a weak East. Totally disagree.
He cant shoot. Demands the ball all the time, doesnt defend anymore, and no one likes playing with him. And he is progressively gettting worse.
Two of the biggest me first players together is nothing but a disaster.
