Ellington to join Knicks as team's 5th FA pick up

Free-agent guard Wayne Ellington has agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the New York Knicks, agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports tells ESPN.

Ellington isn't the completion of the star-studded free agent class that Knicks imagined this summer, but it has turned into a hard-playing, professional group of veterans for coach David Fizdale.

Ellington, who averaged 10.3 points on 40.3% shooting with the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons a year ago, joins Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Reggie Bullock and Taj Gibson in a run of Knicks commitments in the first day of NBA free agency.
