Isaiah Roby, Julius Randle’s next understudy in New York?

We would almost forget it, but Isaiah Roby is under contract with Knicks for next season for a few weeks already. At the end of the regular season, at the beginning of April, the club of new York had indeed signed the 25-year-old interior for the 2023/24 campaign, without however immediately guaranteeing his salary.

A way to keep control of the near future of the former Nebraska college player, not uninteresting at the Thunder and the Spurs in recent years (7.7 points and 4.4 career rebounds), before deciding whether he will join the final workforce at the start of the school year and therefore to guarantee his year of contract (deadline January 10).

Closer to the racket than Toppin

And according to Hoopshype, it’s going well. Our colleagues report that the management of the Knicks is currently considering trusting Isaiah Roby as understudy for Julius Randle next season. After the departure of Obi Toppin, transferred to the Pacers, there is indeed a place to take in the rotation of Tom Thibodeau, who has always appreciated a profile like Isaiah Roby, closer to the circle, than a profile like Obi Toppin…

But first, to confirm that his “candidacy” is on the right track, Isaiah Roby will play the Las Vegas Summer League with the Knicks in the coming days and try to put on a good show.
