Phil Jackson was "falling in and out of sleep" during a pre-draft workout of one of the players projected to be picked in the top-15.

Jay Williams relayed the anecdote during a segment with Bob Ley on ESPN.

Jackson joined the New York Knicks as president in 2014 and his tenure over the past few months has come under fire as he has alienated both Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis.

Jackson has also reportedly stressed the importance of the triangle during the Knicks' workouts, apparently looking for prospects who can understand the system.
