The Knicks made a flurry of signings, adding Landry Shamet, Garrison Mathews, and now Malcolm Brogdon on minimum deals. The problem is the Knicks only have room on their roster to add one more player on a minimum deal, which sets up a training camp showdown among the veterans for the final spot. A key advantage that could give Brogdon the edge over the others is that he fills a key void in the Knicks roster: a backup ball-handler.
The three veterans all bring something unique to the table. Shamet is one of the game's better movement shooters, Mathews is an elite catch-and-shoot threat, while Brogdon is a proven veteran with ball-handling chops.
