The New York Knicks have made it abundantly clear that the G League is an asset that will be valued. Between two-way contracts and the general appreciation of a developmental area, the Knicks have proven to covet the opportunity to build future contributors in Westchester.
As the first major wave of free agency comes to a close, New York is ensuring that its G League affiliate has a player with long-term potential.
In 2017, the Knicks signed Isaiah Hicks and Luke Kornet to two-way contracts. Kornet has since signed a one-year deal with New York for the 2018-19 campaign, which inevitably left fans pondering what would come of Hicks.
