Knicks add former Harvard star

The Knicks continued the process of filling out the back end of their roster Friday night by agreeing to a deal with former Harvard swingman Wesley Saunders.

Saunders played for the Jazz in both the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues, averaging 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in six games.

The 22-year-old is coming off an impressive career at Harvard, where he was the 2014 Ivy League Player of the Year and a three-time First-Team All-Conference performer for the Crimson. He helped Harvard win the Ivy League in all four of his seasons — the first four times the Crimson had done so since 1946, the only other time they won the Ivy.
