When the New York Knicks began their off-season spending spree, they probably didn’t imagine Wayne Ellington being a part of their plans. Their most prolific signing, Julius Randle, was the catalyst behind also adding Ellington, a known three-point shooter.
The perimeter shooter received interest from multiple teams but ultimately signed with the Knicks after Randle gave him a call, according to ClutchPoints:
“There were a lot of teams that were interested. I spoke to a lot of different teams and considered a lot of different situations, but [my agent] Mark Bartelstein and I just felt like this was the perfect situation for me,” Ellington told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype.
