Knicks Add Darion Atkins
Knicks are apparently giving Darion Atkins a partialy guaranteed contract that will at least get him to camp. Atkins is 6'8 with a 7'2" wingspan and uses it for D. Almost all of his points come in the post and he has no outside shot or FT ability to speak of, but he can offer some D, boards and blocks. He's more filled out and polished defensively than Ndour was, but Ndour seemed to have the greater offensive ability and upside. Atkins had been on San Antonio's Summer League team, and we know all about their scouting acumen.
UPDATE: The Knicks are also bringing former Harvard 6'6" swingman Wesley Saunders to camp with some guaranteed money. They can bring 20 players total.

Hm, sounds like a Ndour type player. Thought they bypassed him for a PG or backup C type player.
They have three open spaces, so they could still go C and PG. Don't know if they had to touch their 2.8 exception yet.
Three open spots but I believe two of those are Galloway and possibly Ledo..
I think Galloway, at least is in the current counting.
