The Knicks have officially added former Baylor forward Nuni Omot to their training camp roster, the team announced today in a press release. New York now has a full 20-man roster.
Omot, who went undrafted in 2018, has bounced around since then, playing for teams in North Macedonia, the Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, Germany, Puerto Rico, and the G League. Last season, he averaged 15.0 PPG, 4.1 RPG, and 2.3 APG in 27 games (20.1 MPG) for Leones de Ponce in Puerto Rico.
While the Knicks only have 13 players on fully guaranteed contracts and could have a regular season roster spot or two up for grabs, they likely view Omot as a player who will eventually suit up for their G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.
Assuming Omot signed an Exhibit 10 deal, which is likely, he’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $50K if he spends at least 60 days with Westchester after being waived by the NBA club.
Miami just fell apart in the 4th of this grueling gm7 & NYK’s tough defense was a big reason why. Mashburn was bad throughout tbh but he was especially bad in the 4th. He wasnt alone tho, Zo was really the only Heat player consistently making plays. Knicks, especially their HOFer Pat Ewing, controlled the boards & handled biz at the ft line to eliminate Miami in a do or die gm for the 2nd straight yr.. link to m.youtube.com
