The New York Knicks signed Tosan Evbuomwan, per Ian Begley of SNY. The former Princeton star joins this year's Eastern Conference runner-ups on a two-way deal.

As someone with two years' worth of NBA experience, the Newcastle, England, native has become a mentor to Amari Williams. The Boston Celtics' rookie center hails from Nottingham. The two were together when the latter became the No. 46 overall pick in this year's draft.

With Evbuomwan playing for the Brooklyn Nets at Summer League, he was able to monitor Williams's performance. He was there to lend his advice and aid the former Kentucky Wildcats' standout center and the other British players participating in Las Vegas.
