G League standout Kenny Wooten is drawing interest from teams for a 10-day contract, SNY’s Ian Begley reports.
The undrafted rookie from Oregon, who was in camp with the Knicks in the fall, has stood out with his defense for the Westchester Knicks, particularly his blocks. He currently leads the G League with 3.7 blocks per game while averaging 6.8 PPG and 5.7 RPG.
“He certainly looks capable of defending on the interior at this level,” a scout said of Wooten’s NBA potential, per Begley.
As a G League player, Wooten is eligible to ink a 10-day contract with any NBA team. The Knicks could add Wooten to the NBA roster by waiving or trading a player to free up a roster spot.
