SNY recently broke down 4 Knicks to watch during the NBA Summer League, and it appears you could add another to the list.
The second-round pick Jack Kayil has officially been added to the team’s roster ahead of their exhibition opener Friday night against the Nets.
Kayil was originally left off the roster due to an issue with his current club.
The youngster’s agent indicated to reporters last week, though, that they expected it to be quickly resolved.
Now the Knicks will officially be able to get a good look at the 39th overall pick before deciding if he’ll return to Germany or receive a two-way contract this year.
Though it may not be up to him with the Knicks trying to stay under the second apron this year, Kayil said following the selection that he did not plan on returning overseas.
“My plan is to stay here,” he said. “And to get into the organization and keep growing with them.”
Kayil averaged 12.3 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds across 21 minutes in the Alba Berlin league last season.
He also earned FIBA Champions League Best Young Player honors and was named All-FIBA Champions Second-Team after helping Germany take home the silver medal at the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup.
