Leon Rose and World Wide Wes have added yet another former Wildcat to the New York Knicks roster. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Nerlens Noel is headed to New York on a one-year deal with the Knicks.
Noel joins a roster that already includes Kevin Knox, Julius Randle and new draft pick Immanuel Quickley, plus new assistant head coach Kenny Payne. Noel will compete for minutes with Mitchell Robinson, a former WKU Hilltopper, and then there’s new draft pick Obi Toppin, the older brother of current UK player Jacob Toppin. How’s that for Kentucky connections in the Garden?
