Knicks sign James Wiseman, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji in roster fight
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Knicks signed five veterans—John Konchar, Drew Eubanks, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, and James Wiseman—on non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contracts to compete for the final roster spot.
- James Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has struggled to meet expectations with previous teams, including the Warriors, Pistons, and Pacers.
- The Knicks currently hold 13 standard NBA contracts and have room for only one more standard deal before exceeding the salary cap apron, making the final roster spot highly competitive.
- This approach mirrors last season’s strategy, where veterans competed for the last roster spot, with Landry Shamet ultimately securing the position and contributing significantly during the Knicks’ championship run.
- Training camp is scheduled to start on September 28, marking the beginning of the competition for the 14th roster spot.
