Cincinnati guard Lance Stephenson wouldn't mind falling into the second round if that means the Knicks will select him with the 38th overall pick.

"I always grew up wanting to play for the Knicks," Stephenson said. "So if they pick me, I'll be very happy."

He is a Brooklyn native and played at Lincoln High School.

"I think I'm more comfortable with coming back and playing with the Knicks," he said. "I think it'd be better for the Knicks in a lot of ways because I grew up in New York. I think a lot more people will come out and watch the games knowing that I'm from New York and that I played in New York since my high school career."
