When the New York Knicks acquired Luka Vildoza on a four-year, $13.6 million deal, they made sure it was a non-guaranteed contract. The Argentinian guard spent last season with Baskonia of the Spanish ACB league.
Over 27 games, Vildoza averaged 23.5 minutes, posting 10.9 points, 3.7 assists, and shot 42% from the field. The Knicks view him as a combo guard with experience at the European level. Attempting to make the transition to the NBA, Vildoza has a tall task ahead of him, having missed the majority of Summer League play and the emergence of rookie Miles McBride out of West Virginia.
