Back in the 2014 NBA draft, the Indiana Pacers drafted French big Louis Labeyrie. The New York Knicks, however, hold his draft rights, and are free to sign him if they please.
Labeyrie is listed at 6-10, 220 pounds. He hasn’t had any NBA experience to date, other than some games in the Summer League. NBADraft.net describes Labeyrie as a strong defensive player who is also capable of rebounding at a high rate. However, he is also a limited offensive asset, which doesn’t quite improve his stock.

Overseas, Labeyrie hasn’t averaged over 25 minutes per game, and his scoring averages have not risen past 10 points per game, according to RealGM.
