I've seen comparisons to Michael Finley, Sean Elliot and Hayward. He isn't a stiff like Frank. This kid actually has some skill.

Vecenie’s ranking: 34 Pacǒme Dadiet has fans around the NBA, and his stock is a bit higher than it seems publicly before this draft. There are evaluators who loved the fact that he is an 18-year-old who didn’t hit a wall as a European player. In fact, he seemed to get better every month, which typically indicates a capacity for a positive long-term trajectory. Tobias Harris is a name that has come up a couple of times in my conversation with NBA personnel who are fans of Dadiet. However, I thought Harris was way ahead of Dadiet in his lone season in college, showing much more well-rounded shot-creation skills and a better floor game. I buy Dadiet as a scorer; he’ll shoot it at a good clip, and I love his off-ball movement. He understands how to create offense. The problem for me is that he doesn’t do anything else right now. One could excuse that by noting he’s a teenager, which is viable. But typically, the prospects like Dadiet who develop into successful all-around players tend to show many more flashes in those areas than Dadiet has. His lack of rebounding given his frame is concerning. Even playing in an overmatched second division last year, he averaged under four defensive rebounds per game, which ranked outside the top 60 in a league where the imports are not particularly strong compared to other second divisions worldwide. Throw in his below-average passing and poor defensive tape, and I’m lower on Dadiet than many members of NBA teams I talk to. Still, his legitimate off-ball scoring ability at this age makes him a worthwhile second-round pick.

Hollinger’s analysis: Four Frenchmen in the first round! I love the Dadiet pick for the Knicks, I think he’s been one of the more underrated players in this cycle. He gives New York another player in the 6-8 forward mold who can make an open shot, with the youth and ability to maybe be more long-term. At this point in the draft he becomes an inexpensive depth piece for a team that will desperately need a few of them, given the other commitments it recently made.
