The Knicks have signed shooting guard Bryce Brown, the team announced in a tweet. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it’s likely an Exhibit 10 agreement.
Brown won’t make the Knicks’ regular season roster, but looks like a candidate to play for the Westchester Knicks in the G League. Brown figures to be waived by New York very soon, as small forward Louis King was earlier today.
The 6’3″ right-hander went undrafted out of Auburn in 2019. He was added as an affiliate player on the Celtics’ G League team, the Maine Red Claws. In 34 games with Maine (all starts) across the 2019/20 season, Brown averaged 16.1 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.4 APG and 0.9 SPG. He also shot an excellent 42.7% on 8.6 three-point attempts per night.
Brown’s G League returning rights are held by the Red Claws. That said, it’s unclear how that will work if Westchester participates in the G League bubble but Maine opts out, which is the current expectation — we don’t know yet whether Westchester would still have to trade for his rights.

Lol I read it as an excellent 42% on free throw attempts n I was huh? I didnt get it. On 3 balls tho…impressive if u ask me
And 8 attempts per night. In the NBA, 8 attempts/game would put you way up there near the leaders.
Need all the shooters we can get. Worst 3PT shooting team in league. Man for instance I don’t get. Why he doesn’t play Brazdeikis more. He’s probably their best shooter. We need to fix that.
He didn’t go to Kentucky not sure why they’re signing him
