The New York Knicks added French wing Mohamed Diawara in the 2025 NBA draft on Thursday, choosing him in the second round with the No. 51 overall pick.

The Knicks finally made their first – and only – draft selection Thursday night with Mohamed Diawara out of France with the No. 51 pick in the second round.

While they were on the clock, the Knicks traded out of that spot, sending that selection to the Los Angeles Clippers for the 51st pick and the draft rights to Luka Mitrovic (a 32-year-old Serbian who was drafted originally in 2015). The Knicks then picked Mohamed Diawara, a 6-8 forward from France.
