The New York Knicks are continuing to make moves to solidify the back end of their roster, seeking the right mix of players as they head into the upcoming season.
On Tuesday, they announced the signing of Boo Buie, who had an impressive senior year at Northwestern. Buie posted 19 points, 3.3 rebounds, and five assists per game while shooting an efficient .438 from the field and .434 from beyond the arc. He played a heavy load, averaging 36.9 minutes per contest, and his strong performance in college caught the Knicks’ attention.
A Shift in Focus to the Knicks’ Center Depth
Despite Buie’s potential, the Knicks shifted their focus to another area of need—center depth. On Wednesday, the team waived Buie and signed 7-foot-2 center Moses Brown to an Exhibit 10 contract, the Knicks announced.
Brown, a native of New York, brings size and journeyman experience to the roster. The 24-year-old played in 22 games with the Portland Trail Blazers last season, averaging 3.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in just over nine minutes per game while shooting .508 from the field.
