Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s agent, Giorgos Panou, said the Knicks were the only team not to scout Antetokounmpo in Greece before the 2013 NBA draft.
Ian Begley of ESPN:
If the Knicks indeed scouted Antetokounmpo that thoroughly, it’s a shame they were smeared for not doing so.
Milwaukee took Antetokounmpo No. 13. New York had the No. 24 pick and kept it to draft Tim Hardaway Jr.
