Ja Morant, who had never visited New York until a couple of weeks ago, was part of a panel at a Madison Avenue electronics store Tuesday, taking questions from fans.

One mentioned a list of exploits that have occurred at the Garden across the years, including 61-point games by Kobe Bryant and James Harden.

“What do you have in store for your first game at the Garden?” Morant was asked.

Laughter from the crowd then a pause, and the electric point guard said in his Southern drawl, “I guess ya got to come to the Garden and find out.’’

It was one of Morant’s boldest remarks Tuesday. Whether he gets his first Garden game as a Knick still is uncertain, with Memphis the favorite to snatch him at No. 2, one spot ahead of the Knicks’ pick.

Out of small-town Dalzell, SC, and small-school Murray State, Morant was whisked to appearances all day. The whirlwind is new after being essentially ignored until his sophomore season, when he averaged 24.6 points, 10.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds.

“I have the opportunity to put the state of South Carolina on the map,’’ Morant said on stage. “I feel like draft night will be emotional for me and my family. They got to see what I went through, going under the radar and having to be found in a back gym for someone looking for a concession stand. It’s crazy. Now I’m in the position I am right now.”

Morant was referencing the tale of his discovery by Murray State. A Murray State assistant attending an AAU combine went to a concession stand, heard the bouncing of the ball in an auxiliary gym and saw Morant by himself. He was entering his senior year of high school. The rest is history.

“It’s crazy for me,’’ Morant said of the draft glare. “Something I’m not used to. Being under the radar and now receiving all this attention, it’s crazy but something I looked for.

“I’m never satisfied. I still got a lot more to prove. I had a lot of doubters my whole life. Just continue to play with that chip on my shoulder.’’

Former Duke star and ESPN analyst Jay Williams hosted the panel that also included Pistons center Andre Drummond, Liberty star Kia Nurse and lottery pick Jarrett Culver. Williams asked Morant to talk about his father, Tee, who was in the audience.

Morant mentioned his father used to invite all the neighborhood kids to his backyard for a full day of basketball and barbecue. Even though Morant’s grown, the father still invites the neighborhood.

“Everyone is thinking it’s the dunks,’’ Morant said when asked by Williams his favorite moment ever on a basketball court. “But it’s my triple-double [against Marquette in the NCAA Tournament].’’

Morant has been careful since the lottery reveal regarding a preference for where he winds up. When asked Tuesday how he has enjoyed Manhattan now that he’s finally visited, Morant took to his stock answer.

“All my meetings were good and all the cities were great,’’ he said.

“That’s called the politically correct answer,’’ Williams quipped.

Later, Williams told The Post the decision on whom to take between Morant and RJ Barrett depends on what the team’s need is — that’s how close their talents are.

The more Williams talked, it sounded all things even, he would go with the point guard despite the league trending toward wings.

“At the draft combine, when I watched Damian Lillard during his time at Weber State, a lot of people always said he did it against less competition,’’ Williams said. “My thing is, if you know how to play, you know how to play. You can adapt to the size of guards.

“We saw Ja against Alabama and [in] the NCAA Tournament and against Florida State [he had] a near triple-double. You lose me when you say he can’t compete at that level. They focused scouting reports against him because there wasn’t other options. But you put him around other options and weapons, he’s going to be scary.’’
