Can you discard the card you draw in gin rummy?

If a player chooses to draw face-up card (from the discard pile) he cannot discard the same card he just took. Players alternate taking turns until one player ends the round by knocking, going Gin, or until only two cards remain in the stock pile, in which case the round ends in a draw and no points are awarded.
