Knicks · Knicks worked out Andrew Harrison, said to be looking for a second round pick (page 1)

Maybe to pair with Willey Cauley-Stein?

Former Kentucky point guard Andrew Harrison was part of a four-man workout with the Knicks on Friday.

The 6-foot-6 Harrison joined Duke’s Quinn Cook, Dayton’s Jordan Sibert and Gonzaga’s Kevin Pangos in a workout in front of President Phil Jackson, assistant GM Allan Houston and head coach Derek Fisher, among others.

“He did well,” Cook told SNY.tv on Monday of Harrison. “He’s very big guard, he’s strong, but he did well.”

Harrison improved his draft stock at last month’s NBA Draft Combine in Chicago and is now projected at No. 32 by DraftExpress.com.

The Knicks are said to be looking to add a second-round pick in addition to the No. 4 pick they currently own.

“It’s his size and his ability to get to the rim,” DraftExpress analyst Jonathan Givony told the Herald-Leader. “He’s really shown that he’s not a combo guard. He’s really a point guard. He can make the right plays. And at 6-6, he can guard a lot of different people.

“Question marks about his offense — obviously those are still there.”

Some also question Harrison’s ability to defend NBA point guards.

“Andrew has size for position, he’s a big strong point guard,” one NBA scout told SNY.tv. “I think he’s a backup point guard in our league.

“He can be drafted anywhere from 31-50.”

In a funny twist, Andrew Harrison stepped in to replace his brother Aaron in Monday’s workout with the Charlotte Hornets.

I like that we're looking to get a 2nd round pick and actually like the K.Pangos kid from Gonzaga. The kid can stroke it from 3 point land and wouldn't mind A.Harrison in the 2nd round either. He looked good at the combine.

The knicks bought 2 second round picks last year and I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same this year. They invested a lot of money into a D league team to help those guys get up to NBA speed.

Well, they traded Tyson Chandler to get two second round picks, didn't they?

I think they just bought one. The other two came in the Tyson trade.

Yeah I think they might be guys you look at if they go undrafted.

^^^nets got Markel Brown last by purchasing the 44th pick. I thought that was a great move. I believe they only paid 500,000 for the pck but I might be wrong.

^^^^I don't know of anyone saying the Knicks can just buy a second rounder but it may have been said. I do know that the second round picks moved in the past can't be reclaimed so buying a pick is a good option if the team doesn't need that money for another transaction. It appears the Knicks are working out guys that will be around either as undrafted free agents or in the 45-60 range. Being thorough in scouting for potential players that might be available is good practice for a team that was left with limited draft resources by previous regimes in my opinion.

Nice article on Jordan McRae.
