Knicks to sign Darion Atkins
Atkins will sign a partially guaranteed contract
The Knicks will sign Darion Atkins to a partially guaranteed contract.
Per Daily Progress, Atkins, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, last season, will have to battle it out for a roster spot in training camp with NBA journeymen Lou Amundson and Lance Thomas, who recently signed guaranteed contracts with the Knicks.
Atkins posted modest stats during his four-year career at Virginia before exploding onto the scene at the NBA’s Portsmouth Invitational in the spring. In three games, Atkins averaged 20.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks and made the All-Tournament Team.
