The New York Knicks opened up a two-way spot when they waived Tosan Evbuomwan on Wednesday, avoiding his deal becoming guaranteed. 19-year-old Dink Pate just made his case for the team's third two-way contract with a 31-point performance for the Westchester Knicks. Pate, who went undrafted in part because of his unreliable jumpshot, made eight 3-pointers in the game.
Pate's catching fire at the perfect time
It took playing 40 minutes of the team's game on Friday night against the Stockton Kings, but Pate shined bright. He took 14 3-point shots and made eight of them, a career-high for the teenager in his third season as a G-Leaguer.
