Josh Hart hasn’t quite yet gotten acclimated with the Knicks’ latest first-round pick.
On the “Roommates Show” podcast that he co-hosts with Jalen Brunson and Matt Hillman, Hart was talking about the NBA Draft and he struggled to pronounce Pacome Dadiet’s name.
“With the 25th pick, we got Paco-me Da-deet? Da-diet? Da-diet,” Hart said.
“I think I’m really versatile and can also bring what a rookie needs to bring — energy,” Dadiet said. “Coming in and grabbing rebounds to push the ball and also knock down shots. I think it’s very important for a rookie to bring those things.”
Dadiet had worked out with the Knicks before the draft, but wasn’t sure if they would pick him.
“The workout went well,” Dadiet said. “So I knew they were interested. But until the last minute, I didn’t know where I was going. I’m very excited to start working. I can’t wait.”
ESPN basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla was a big fan of the Knicks’ pick.
“This was a great pick up for the Knicks,” he tweeted after the draft. “If you are a Westchester Knicks fan, buy your tickets now because he will spend time there, but love his long-term upside.”
