The New York Knicks have been firmly added to the second unit with a focus on adding depth this offseason.
After a shortage of the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks knew they had to add to the bench unit.
They are too dependent on starters, and that wear and tear that was caught up in them at the end.
The Knicks came in the offseason and made some of the best under the radar signatures, picking up Jordan Clarkson, Gershon Yabsel and Malcolm Brogdon and reclaiming Landry Chamett.
The Knicks, who finished third in the East last season, added more ammunition to their team.
The Knicks had to make some subtractions before the start of training camp.
New York abandoned Dink Patty and Bryson Warren, according to Knicks reporter Ian Begley.
Both players have contracts for 10 exhibits and have financial incentives to join the Westchester Knicks G-League team.
Putty joined the NBA G League Ignite in 2023 at the age of 17 and became the youngest professional basketball player in the United States.
After the 2023-24 season, Putty remained in the G League, but found a new destination to sign with the Mexico City Capitans.
During his time at Kapitan, Pate averaged 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 34 games with 40.8% shooting from the field.
Putty was with the Knicks in the summer league in Las Vegas this summer.
Dink gave a breakout performance against the Washington Wizard. He scored 20 points to get 10 rebounds and made four three pointers. He showed off his commitment to offensive offensive play and defence.
Overall, he averaged 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in five games with 40% shooting from the field and 50% from downtown.
Dink is a high-winged player who still has the opportunity to impress in the NBA G League.
