Kyle Filipowski of the Duke Blue Devils is preparing for the 2024 NBA draft which will begin on Wednesday in New York. The star player has already reached the city and is doing some exploration with his fiancee, Caitlin Hutchison.
The couple went on a date to an Asian restaurant in Central Park. Flipowski shared a snap of Hutchison on his Instagram story on Monday. In the picture, she is smiling ear to ear, donning a denim top while flaunting a simple wavy hairstyle.
The couple has been enjoying the offseason. They recently enjoyed bottles of chilled beer with each other. They can expect a big change in their life after the NBA draft as it is only then that they will get to know which team will pick Filipowski.
Can Kyle Filipowski be a good fit for the New York Knicks?
Many thought that the Knicks, who have the No. 24 and 25 picks on Wednesday, would draft Purdue big man Zach Edey, and who better to take than the back-to-back National Player of the Year? But it seems as if he might get picked before the Knicks' turns. Therefore, Kyle Filipowski of the Duke Blue Devils has emerged as another prospect for the team to consider.
Filipowski could have been a first-round draft pick last year because of being an impressive passer for his position. He has the third-best APG numbers compared to all other centers who have declared for the 2024 NBA draft. The 20-year-old has shown several ways to pass the ball, which has led to many calling him the best passing big man of this year's draft class.
Even though Filipowski tends to be more perimeter-focused, which results in a lower-than-ideal-field goal percentage, he can pose a problem for a man of his frame, because he can successfully knock down shots and be a threat on the court.
With his big size, Kyle Filipowski can space the floor, which can prove beneficial for the team's offense.
While there is a chance that Filipowski will also be picked before the New York Knicks' picks, the team can still aim to bring a player who can shoot while spreading his stance on the hardwood floor.
