Knicks sign guard Kadeem Allen :InsideHoops

The New York Knicks signed Kadeem Allen today.

The signing may just be a non-guaranteed deal that merely brings Allen to training camp.

A 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard, Allen played for Boston and their G League affiliate Maine last season. In 34 games (33 starts) for the Red Claws, he averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, five assists and 2.2 steals over 34.5 minutes, and he received an honor for his efforts — being named to the G League All-Defensive Team. He also played in 18 games (one start) for the Celtics, totaling 19 points and 12 assists over 107 minutes.

The Wilmington, NC-native was originally selected by Boston in the second round (53rd overall) of the 2017 NBA Draft, following two seasons at the University of Arizona and two seasons at Hutchinson Community College (NC). As a senior at Arizona, he averaged 9.8 points, four rebounds, three assists and a team-leading 1.6 steals.
