The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time in 53 years, but the work to defend the title is already underway.

On this episode of New York Got Game, Dexter Henry is joined by NBA Draft and college basketball guru Chris Lebron, host of The Off The Ball Podcast and contributor to Knicks Fan TV, to preview the Knicks’ 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Dexter and Chris discuss what Knicks fans should be watching in Vegas, including a critical Summer League for Pacome Dadiet, what Mohamed Diawara needs to show after signing his new deal, and how Tyler Nickel can prove he is more than just a shooting specialist.

They also break down Jack Kayil’s expected overseas development path, Oziyah Sellers’ opportunity after his year at St. John’s, the Knicks’ frontcourt depth after losing Mitchell Robinson and adding Andre Drummond and which under-the-radar players could fight their way into a two-way or Westchester Knicks role.
