New York adds another potential end of bench piece
Chuma Okeke turned a few heads earlier this offseason as a potential depth piece with some promise. Unfortunately for him and his fans, Okeke was waived as a result of the recent Karl-Anthony Towns trade. But on Wednesday, it was revealed that the former Orlando Magic will return to the Knicks on a camp deal.

Throughout his four-year career, the 26 year-old forward has averaged 6.3PPG, and 3.7RPG. He will now have a shot to fight for one of the last remaining roster spots and could end up playing himself into a situational rotational piece given the Knicks’ lack of depth at his positions.
