Knicks bringing forward Darion Atkins to camp

This hasn't been 100-percent confirmed as of yet, but it certainly appears as if former University of Virginia big man Darion Atkins has been invited to Knicks training camp. Per Sheridan Hoops:

Former Virginia forward Darion Atkins plans to sign a partially guaranteed contract with the #Knicks, a source tells @sheridanhoops.

A 6'8 forward and four-year senior, Atkins was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14, averaging 7.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game for Tony Bennett's successful, almost inconceivably slow-paced Cavaliers squad.
