The New York Knicks have added James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks and Liam Robbins, but the center picture is still not settled and Duop Reath remains part of the wider conversation around the group they could continue to build.
That is the key point here: the Knicks have made moves, but they have not closed the door on more additions. With 19 players under contract for camp and room to carry as many as 21, there is still space for the front office to keep searching for a stronger fit in the middle.
A rotation that is still taking shape
The immediate question is not whether the Knicks have options. It is whether they have the right mix of options for the jobs that still need filling, especially the third-string center role and the vacant two-way spots.
Wiseman, Eubanks and Robbins give the club more bodies and more competition, but the structure of the depth chart suggests the work is not finished. The Knicks are still weighing veteran centers who could help stabilize the back end of the rotation.
Veteran names remain in the frame
Kevin Love and Mason Plumlee are among the veteran centers being considered, and both bring different kinds of experience that could appeal to a team still trying to settle its depth.
Love, now 38 years old, averaged 5.8 rebounds per game in 16.6 minutes a night last season. Over the past five seasons, he spent at least half of his time at center in three of them, which underlines how his role has evolved.
Plumlee offers a different profile. One season ago, he averaged 6.1 rebounds per game for the Phoenix Suns, and that kind of steady production is exactly why he remains a name worth monitoring.
What happens next?
For now, the Knicks have more competition in camp and more flexibility than before, but they are still in the market for clarity. The signings of Wiseman, Eubanks and Robbins may be the first step rather than the final answer, with the club continuing to assess whether one more center can make the rotation feel complete.
