The Knicks have added Boo Buie on an Exhibit 10 contract, the team’s PR department tweets.
Buie was expected to sign a similar contract with the Suns after he went undrafted in June but it never became official. Buie did appear in five Summer League contests for Phoenix, averaging 9.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 21.1 minutes per game.
Buie, a 6’2″ two-time All-Big Ten guard, scored a total of 2,187 points during his five seasons with Northwestern. In 2023/24, he posted a career-high 19.0 points per game on .438/.434/.858 shooting. His 5.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game in 34 appearances last season also represented career highs.
Exhibit 10 agreements are non-guaranteed, but can be converted into two-way contracts before the start of the regular season. If Buie is waived and then remains with the G League’s Westchester Knicks for at least 60 days, he’s eligible to earn a bonus up to $77.5K.
This is a Halloween thing right ……
Boo Buie …..
Yeah, but he can play like garbage and the fans booing him won’t mean a thing.
Boo Buie! They sure love to have a lot of guards around. Not much interest in players above 6’9″
He’s a high end college player. How it translates to the NBA, who knows. But I’d offer him a G-league slot (which essentially is what this is) just on his profile, 4 year starting PG at NW, 2 x All Big 10 and 2 NCAA tournaments.
