The Knicks entered the draft with two second-round pick selections: their own 38th pick and the acquired 39th pick originally from the Los Angeles Clippers, whose selection was sent to New York via Denver Nuggets following a 2008 pick swap agreement. The Knicks had traded their first-round pick to the Phoenix Suns in 2004 to acquire Stephon Marbury; the pick was eventually used by the Utah Jazz to select Gordon Hayward 9th overall.
