With Phil’s first pick, Knicks grab Wichita State’s Cleanthony Early

Early came late for the Knicks.

The Knicks selected upstate Middletown product, scoring small forward Cleanthony Early with the 34th pick of the draft. Early, who starred for upstart Wichita State, was projected in some mock drafts as a first-round pick.

The four-year collegiate player averaged 16.3 points per game in 27 minutes per game, giving the Shockers a high-energy scorer, and led them to two straight NCAA Tournament appearances. He played at Pine Bush High in Orange County.

Early moved upstate after growing up in New York City.

"I'm a New York kid,'' he told The Post's Steve Serby in March. "I grew up in The Bronx. I've been in Brooklyn, I've been in Queens, I've played basketball a lot of places in New York. It's pretty much the same, it's that gritty attitude, that New York City swag.''

The Knicks failed to move up into the first round with the asking price too high, as the club was reluctant to give up on Iman Shumpert.

Meanwhile, the Bulls saved just $325,000 in cap space for Carmelo Anthony's free agency by packaging their two first-round picks (16 and 19) to move up to 11 and take small forward Doug McDermott. He's a shooter who can replace Mike Dunleavy if he's traded for legit cap space.
