NBA 2K26 Summer League 2025 Thread (starts July 10) 

Post#1 » by Luv those Knicks » Fri Jun 27, 2025 2:52 am

. . . As of today, that's in 2 weeks, that's coming up.

Knicks roster won't be announced for a while, but we can guess:

2024 picks: Dadiet, Kolek, Huk & McCullar I expect will be there.

2025 pick: Mohamed Diawara is confirmed.

James Nnaji (31st pick 2023 and part of the KAT trade) is confirmed That's 6.

Hugo Besson (58th pick 2022), acquitted in the Jericho Sims trade is possible, but I haven't seen that confirmed.

I don't know which other Euros might be possible. Jokubaitus already said he won't come over this summer.

Jacob Toppin?
Marjon Beauchamp?
Anton Watson?
Boo Buie?

Other invitees? It probably won't be announced as an official roster for a week, maybe longer. Don't know if everyone is healthy and I wonder if they'll have a coach by then.

Go Knicks!!
Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.

Double standard?

There was a 6’1 point guard that I think they said will play for us.

Walking the tightrope with this coaching search. Draft is over. FA about to start. SL two weeks away. We are interview Borrego this weekend. Not sure what we're doing about the HC after that.

Biwali Bayles?

Nice. I had to google him. Hadn't hear this.

I'm skeptical that he's an NBA player, but he looks fun.

Really looking forward to seeing what Kolek and Dadiet can do

If they ball out, it means we might be able to play them during the season, which would really help our depth issues.

Dink Pate is pretty interesting as a UDFA pickup

Like, he's not good, obviously, but he has the tools to be a rotation piece. Be someone to watch in Westchester next year.

I was hoping this was the kid we would reach out to. Had 1st round potential a couple of years ago before the Ignite fiasco. Might be a solid 2 way project.

As a pickleball player I approve of Dink...

Just looked up his stats and a little bit of video... he's still only 19, wow, so it's not like he's a 24 or 25 year old prospect trying to catch on with their last chance. He's younger than many of the players who were just drafted.

Nice positional size and elite athleticism but just looks like a dunker at this point, having trouble finding shooting splits on him but what I can gather he can't shoot.
