James Wiseman unsurprisingly has an inside track to land on the Knicks roster

James Wiseman reportedly holds an early lead in the New York Knicks' training camp battle for their final standard roster spot. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the 25-year-old center has impressed witnesses during camp and should be considered the favorite to secure the team's 14th roster position.

Wiseman faces competition from Drew Eubanks, Tony Bradley, Bruce Brown, and Ochai Agbaji ahead of New York's five preseason games. Daily Knicks notes Wiseman provides frontcourt depth behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond, while also possessing familiarity with head coach Mike Brown from their time with the Golden State Warriors.
