As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, UConn’s Alex Karaban, a 23-year-old SF/PF, is a potential target for the Knicks with their second-round pick. Standing 6’7” and weighing 225 lbs, he averaged 13.2 PPG and shot 37.4% from three during his senior year, contributing to two national championships. Although his offensive game is somewhat limited and he lacks elite athleticism, his experience and solid shooting make him a valuable prospect. Karaban’s ability to fill a bench role could address the Knicks’ need for a versatile shooter following potential roster changes.
