Begley picks Eubanks over Wiseman for Knicks' last roster spot

SNY insider Ian Begley said on "The Putback" that Drew Eubanks is the "safest" pick over James Wiseman for New York's final roster spot. Begley argued a title defense favors the more reliable Eubanks over Wiseman, whose talent he does not doubt but whose injury history does.

He noted Wiseman looked sharp against Philadelphia, scoring eight points in nine minutes, and said the competition is far from settled. Begley added the Knicks could revisit center depth again near the February trade deadline.
