Did no research on Dadiet, McCullers or Hukporti. But Dadiet's highlights are impressive. He looks as talented as any of the lotto wings. He is a perfect wing to stash away overseas or in Westchester until he is ready. Going up against Hart, OG and Bridges in practice is a great way to learn too.
And the other two guys were picked in the 50s so it's whatever.
All I have is questions. Kolek means we don’t bring over Joku? Then what do we do with Joku?
Dadiet? Need more info.
McCullers defensive SG with no offensive game?
Hukporti?All those trade backs. Probably should have additional consideration, no? What’s the additional consideration?
I guess Kolek could result in Joku being added to a trade (implications are fuzzy) or staying in Europe. I believe Kolek will be on roster as experienced 23 year old college starter.
I think McCullers has some offense but needs to put in the proverbial 1,000 3’s a day and likely tweak his form. See Trevor Ariza.
Have to assume Dadiet cap hit is going to be moved somehow - not sure if staying overseas is only option but he can’t sit all year on bench and we need his $ for other moves.
Hukporti I’ll be surprised if he ever plays a second but still unclear why we moved down an inch to pick up P Koponen 36 year old rights.
I don't feel they drafted Dadiet with the intentions to move him, or it would have been done already. Dadiet also made it very known his desire to stay with the club that drafted him leading up to the draft. Odds are he gets his work in the G league and the Knicks accounted for his salary when crunching.

Occam’s Razor agrees with you. Feel like they got what they wanted for the most part and pivoted where players were taken ahead of their projected draft value.
