BYU star guard Jimmer Fredette worked out for the Knicks and Nets, but neither will get a chance to draft him.
Fredette was seen as a potential second-round target for both teams before deciding to withdraw from the draft and return to BYU for his senior season. Fredette declared early, but did not hire an agent.
“I had a great experience going through the whole process,” Fredette, who averaged 22 points a game for the Cougars, told the Deseret News. “I met some great people and learned a lot. I was able to impresses a lot of people and I think they will be interested to see how I do this coming season. I hope to play extremely well my senior year and achieve our team goals and my personal goals and get drafted next year.”
The Knicks do not have a pick until the second round of this year’s draft.
