Damyean Dotson, the former Oregon and Houston guard who was the MVP of the Portsmouth Invitational, worked out for the Knicks on Tuesday and the Nets on Wednesday.
Dotson, who averaged 17.4 points and 6.9 rebounds last season at Houston, is considered a prototypical “3-and-D” guy. He was ranked eighth nationally with 3.38 made three-pointers per game and shot 44.3 percent from behind the arc.
“I’m a ‘3-and-D’ guy, two guard, just doing the little things,” he told DraftExpress.com after a recent workout in L.A. “Playing hard. diving on the floor, getting the loose balls, rebounding on both ends, getting my teammates involved and being the hardest worker on the court. Maybe it’s five minutes or 10 minutes, or whatever it is, just playing as hard as I can and come off and get that win.

N.C. State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is in New York and will work out for the Knicks on Wednesday, a source told ZAGSBLOG.
The Knicks pick at No. 8 in the June 22nd NBA Draft and are in need of a lead guard.
Knicks President Phil Jackson said at the NBA Draft Combine that his team was looking for “guards and wings.”
The Knicks could be in the mix for several guards, including Smith Jr., Kentucky’s Malik Monk or French product Frank Ntilikina, who could be a good fit in the triangle offense.
