Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks' front office have traveled to scout several practices of the Kentucky basketball team.

The Knicks are expected to pick between No. 1 and No. 5 in the NBA Draft and could consider Karl-Anthony Towns or Willie Cauley-Stein.

“Honestly, I really wasn’t looking,” Karl-Anthony Towns said. “I was just focused on practice. I didn’t know.”

Mark Warkentien has attended nearly a dozen of Kentucky's practices this season.

"Karl isn’t a good kid, he’s a great kid,” says Kentucky assistant coach Barry Rohrssen, a New Yorker who is affectionately known as Slice. “He will be successful in anything he does.”
