J.P. Tokoto
The UNC alum had a strong showing in the summer league, impressing
the Knicks with his defense and hustle on the floor. The Knicks could use all
of the perimeter defense they can get, which may up Tokoto's chances if he
shows that skill in the preseason.
Ron Baker
Baker is the high IQ basketball player that could fit in any
system. Having spent 4 years at Wichita State, the learning curve will be much
smaller which is a nice bonus for a team that wants to compete this season. His
capabilities on both ends of the floor would be a more than helpful addition to
the roster.

Maurice Ndour
Ndour was signed to a guaranteed contract after an
impressive stint in the summer league last season. Though he may not be the
ideal weight for his size (6'9" 205lbs), he more than makes up for it with
his rebounding and defense. His prior success in college shows the capabilities
of his game so don’t be surprised if Ndour earns early playing time once the
season begins.

Another 4-year college player that had the tools for
success, but went undrafted in 2015. After averaging 19.6 points in his senior
year at Stanford, Randle helped CEZ Nymburk win the Czech Republic’s NBL
(National Basketball League) championship in 2016. If Randle can show the
Knicks that he is up to the challenges the NBA will bring, he could be the one
who sneaks in and wins that final place on the bench.
