While fans eagerly anticipate a blockbuster move from the New York Knicks, the team is diligently rounding out its roster and preparing for the upcoming training camp. With the NBA season starting in a mere few weeks, the Knicks have put pen to paper, signing three-year NBA veteran Charlie Brown Jr. to an Exhibit 10 contract.
An Exhibit 10 contract is generally a non-guaranteed one-year minimum agreement. It provides Brown the golden opportunity to duke it out in the training camp, eyeing a coveted two-way contract.
The 26-year-old is hitting the Knicks’ training camp on a high note following an extraordinary Summer League stint. He averaged nearly 20 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals over four games. Although his shooting efficiency was a modest 38% from the floor on six attempts, it’s his ability to slot into multiple positions that really turns heads.
Brown has 41 NBA games under his belt, where he averaged nine minutes and recorded a shooting efficiency of .287, including a .214 success rate from beyond the arc. While these numbers indicate that Brown could benefit from improving his shooting game, his positional flexibility is a tantalizing prospect for the Knicks, a team that places a high value on versatility.
Although making it past the training camp and onto the Knicks’ roster might seem like a longshot for Brown, the Exhibit 10 contract does at least carve out an avenue for him to compete and demonstrate his skills against the first-string team.
