NY Knicks News on Trae Young:

Oklahoma freshman point guard Trae Young is headed to New York and will stage a workout for the Knicks on Tuesday in Tarrytown, according to an NBA source.

It is believed to be Young’s first individual workout, as he’s been training in Los Angeles since March 21. The Post reported Young will work out for fewer than a half-dozen teams. Young reportedly also will work out for Orlando, which holds the No. 6 pick and is a popular destination in mock drafts.

Young posted on Instagram the message, “On the way to NYC.” Young could meet with Knicks officials as soon as Monday.

The club holds the ninth pick, but Knicks GM Scott Perry has said moving up a few notches in a trade will be an option explored.

Regarded as the most electric player in the draft, Young led the nation in scoring and assists. He was once projected as a top-three choice, but a late-season swoon hurt his draft stock.

Young defended his defensive aptitude at the draft combine and said he aims to be the top player in the NBA one day. Young has been compared to Stephen Curry.

In an interview with The Post last week, Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger said: “Other guys who are projected higher are those guys who are all rangy, long, big — different-position players. Trae is still projected as the top guard to go. It depends on what the picking team needs.” (NY Post)

If the basketball gods show New York hoops fans any justice, “The Next Stephen Curry’’ will fall — this time — to the Knicks at No. 9 in the June 21 NBA Draft.

Trae Young is the biggest celebrity if not the most electric player in the draft. Yet it’s the grimy late-season details of Oklahoma’s freshman point guard that make this orange-and-blue talk possible.

Young shot 22.8 percent (28-of-123) in his final 11 games. He missed 21 straight 3-pointers during a three-game span. The Sooners lost nine of their last 11, including first-round exits in the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments. And Young’s defense sagged and his turnovers rose.

John McKelvey is not an NBA scout. He’s a sportswriter for the Norman Transcript, where majestic Oklahoma University is located. McKelvey covered Young in his last two years of scholastic ball at North Norman High, where the gyms were packed across the state for all his games, with Russell Westbrook dropping by and fire marshals turning people away.

“I never saw him dunk,’’ McKelvey said.

“After two years,’’ said Sooners assistant Chris Crutchfield, “he’ll be an NBA All-Star. One, he’s quick with the ball. Two, he can really, really shoot it. And three, he can pass it. Based on the way the NBA is designed with defensive rules, it’s ideal for a guy like Trae to have success. If you don’t guard him at 35 feet he may shoot it. If you do, he’s going to go by you.’’

Unless they trade up a few notches, do the Knicks have a chance? They must, otherwise Young would not have agreed to a workout. A source told The Post Young will work out for fewer than a half-dozen teams.

“I personally think he’s the best player in this year’s draft,’’ said Travelle Gaines, Young’s new trainer. “I think he’s a generational shooter and has gifts and tools you can’t teach. You can’t get tripled in the NBA. Hopefully the Knicks trade up and I’ll be at the first game.’’

“The thing about the Knicks,’’ McKelvey said, “is it’s a perfect spot. He loves the spotlight, always wants the spotlight. He doesn’t turn down an interview.

“He likes people talking about him.”

Slam Magazine had the 19-year-old on its cover. Sports Illustrated donated pages in homage of his freshman year. Kevin Durant, who sponsored Young’s title-winning AAU team, once invited him to his Oklahoma City apartment to watch basketball.

Young made headlines at the draft combine in Chicago when he said, “My main focus isn’t necessarily to be the best player in this draft. My goal is to be the best player in the NBA.’’ (NY PosT)
