Rick Jackson Talks Knicks’ Workout

Former Syracuse forward Rick Jackson talks about his workout Tuesday with the Knicks. The Big East Defensive Player of the Year, the 6-foot-9 Philly native averaged 13.1 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks last season for the Orange.

The Knicks only have the No. 17 pick in the first round, not a second-round pick.
