The Westchester Knicks made significant moves in the 2024 NBA G League Draft, selecting Matt Ryan with the first overall pick and Landry Shamet with the second overall pick. The Knicks acquired the top two picks after trading the No. 2 pick from the Cleveland Charge, who now hold the No. 3 pick. Ryan, a 6'6'' forward from Tennessee-Chattanooga, previously played for the New Orleans Pelicans, shooting 45% from three-point range last season. Shamet, who is currently recovering from a dislocated right shoulder, will use his time with Westchester to rehabilitate and is a candidate to join the Knicks' main roster later in the NBA season. This draft marks a notable moment as every NBA affiliate participated for the first time, with Ryan and Shamet expected to bolster the Knicks' roster as the season progresses.
