Knicks Sign 2 After the Draft


After making their two picks lasr night, the Knicks were quick to sign two more collegiate scorers.  Amir Hinton from Divisions 2 Shaw lead the nation in scoring at 29.4.  He's also a good and clever passer. Like all of them, if he tunes up his jumper, he'll have a chance.  He's 6'5",

Kris Wilkes is a 6'8" SG/SF out of UCLA who is a past Mr. Basketball in the state of Indiana.  He'll turn 21 in September and isn't nearly as physical as RJ, Iggy or Amir. That said when he gets hot from outside, like RJ, he can put up 30.

So, the Knicks added 4 more scorers who need to keep working on their J's.  Vegas should be a blast.

UPDATE: The Knicks aslo signed VJ King, a 6'6" 215 F from Louisville.  No carrying tool.  Shoots free pretty well, but doesn't get to the line.  Just looking at the numbers, I don't see what they see here.

Wings R Us.

UPDATE:  Iggy, RJ and Wilkes were, in that order the 3 best spot up shooters in this draft class.  Look at the Knicks using admirable metrics!

UPDATE 2: At the introductory presser,  Perry said that their analytics guy told them that if there was a chance to go get Iggy, they should, so they did.

Has anyone signed Tacko Fall yet? Hoping we get him on our summer league team. You can't teach 7'7" and he looked good versus Zion in the tournament.
