Head Coach: Mike Woodson (Indiana)
Assistant Coaches: Jim Todd (Fitchburg State)
Darrell Walker (Arkansas)
Herb Williams (Ohio State)
Head Athletic Trainer: Roger Hinds (Brooklyn College)
Associate Athletic Trainer: Anthony Goenaga (Long Island University)
Of note beyond what we already knew:
1. Hardaway and Leslie both officially signed today (Hardaway for the usual first-round rookie deal, Leslie for a partially guaranteed training camp invite thing).
2. I didn't even know Tyler was a free agent, but he's an intriguing addition and might have a real shot at making the team as an extra big man.
3. That's the other Tony Mitchell.
4. Brownlee has played for the Knicks in Summer League before (or at least been on the roster. I can't recall him playing). Brown worked out for the Knicks before last year's draft.
Here is the full schedule. Tip-off is Friday afternoon, and the Knicks play only a few "regular season" games before the league breaks into an all-inclusive tournament. Everything'll be on MSG. I'll be in attendance from Sunday to Sunday to cover the games and goings-on live from Vegas. Woooooooooooooooooo
