James Wiseman emerges as favorite for Knicks' final roster spot

James Wiseman is establishing himself as a frontrunner for the New York Knicks' final roster spot ahead of training camp. Wiseman, a former No. 2 overall pick, had been working out with the team prior to his signing to an Exhibit 9 deal. Coach Mike Brown, who has a history with Wiseman from their time together with the Golden State Warriors, reportedly favors him over other non-guaranteed contract candidates, including Drew Eubanks, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, and John Konchar. The Knicks are looking to fill one of two open spots on their roster, and Wiseman's prior evaluations could give him an advantage in the competition.
