The Knicks are fine for now, but eventually internal development will need to kick in for the franchise to continue on its winning trajectory.With big money tied to its core veteran players, the best way for New York to keep rolling is with the help of young players beginning to show regular flashes of NBA potential. After the Knicks went deep into June during their championship run last year, they may need to lean on youngsters earlier in the season to, at the very least, learn what they have at home.New York has three players on the roster who have less than three years of NBA experience — Tyler Kolek (25), Pacôme Dadiet (21) and Mohamed Diawara (21). The Knicks also added two second-round players in this year’s NBA draft, though their futures with the franchise for this season are more unstable. New York draft pick Jack Kayil, a guard from Germany, is going back to Europe, per a recent overseas report. Tyler Nickel, a swingman from Vanderbilt, is part of the 2022 class that a federal court determined can return to school for a fifth year of eligibility. August 5 was the deadline for teams to issue a required tender for unsigned second-round rookies. The Knicks did that for both Kayil and Nickel, meaning they own their NBA rights, even as the former returns overseas and the latter, per league sources, weighs the option to return to college. If Nickel elects to return to college, it is expected that his NIL money would exceed the two-way contract salary with New York.Why the road to this Knicks title was long and painfulMike VorkunovIn short: It’s very possible the Knicks don’t add a new draftee to its roster this season.So, for this exercise, we’re going to rank the three youthful Knicks on standard contracts from most likely to contribute to least likely to contribute next season — barring injuries to those players ahead of them in the depth chart.1. Mohamed DiawaraThis one is a no-brainer.Despite a few poor summer league performances and a finger injury, Diawara showed flashes last season as a rookie when playing alongside legitimate NBA talent. Head coach Mike Brown made the former second-round pick a regular rotation fixture for nearly two months during his rookie season.
