Knicks sign John Konchar and Drew Eubanks to training camp deals
Key Points:
- The Knicks have had a quiet offseason following their championship win, with minimal roster moves except for signing former Grizzlies wing John Konchar and former Kings forward Drew Eubanks to compete for final roster spots.
- John Konchar, an undrafted free agent from 2019, has been a solid regular-season contributor with the Grizzlies but is known for streaky shooting and limited playoff impact; he reportedly sees a real path to making the Knicks roster.
- Drew Eubanks, an eight-year veteran with experience on multiple teams, had a strong stretch as a starter in 2022 but has mostly been a role player since; he is considered a favorite for the Knicks' final roster spot given his size and efficiency.
- The Knicks currently have 17 players on their training camp roster and face a limit on standard contracts due to the second apron salary cap, meaning Konchar and Eubanks are likely competing for just one spot.
- There is speculation that the Knicks might be open to trading a player like Deuce McBride for a center during training camp, with recent signings possibly indicating a willingness to make moves as the season approaches.
