Jack Kayil, the New York Knicks’ second-round draft pick (No. 39), is heading back to Europe after signing a five-year contract with Alba Berlin, where he enjoyed success last season. Despite his aspirations to play in the NBA, the Knicks deemed him not ready for immediate contribution, likely leading to a G League stint. In the Summer League, Kayil averaged 8.8 points with modest shooting stats, but he played a key role in helping Alba Berlin win the Bundesliga championship. Analysts believe he is a work in progress, showing potential for an NBA future.
