The Knicks must have some serious interest in taking UCLA freshman guard Jrue Holiday with the No. 8 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft because they are bringing him in Monday for a second time.
Holiday didn’t have a great workout last Thursday at the Knicks’ Westchester campus — the same day Davidson guard Steph Curry was there.
New York will work out the following group of players Monday after GM Donnie Walsh speaks with the media.
The players expected to work-out tomorrow are:
Rodney Alexander – Forward, 6-7, 227, Oklahoma City University
