Last season, the center played in 22 games for the team, including five starts. In those games, he averaged 3.4 points and 3.9 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Brown has signed with numerous teams. This includes the Knicks, though he only played for their G League affiliate in 2023. Additionally, Brown has played for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/09\/1-question-for-each-oklahoma-city-thunder-rookie\/\" target=\"_self\">Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/08\/dallas-mavericks-waive-fiba-basketball-world-cup-participant-aj-lawson\/\" target=\"_self\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/01\/cleveland-cavaliers-starter-darius-garland-speaks-about-trade-rumors\/\" target=\"_self\">Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/07\/clippers-veteran-journeyman-will-not-re-join-team-this-season\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/07\/2-brooklyn-nets-are-reportedly-sidelined-due-to-injury-trendon-watford-dayron-sharpe\/\" target=\"_self\">Brooklyn Nets.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Knicks Bring Back Former Center On Training Camp Deal<\/h2>\n<h3>Moses Brown&#8217;s Role With the New York Knicks<\/h3>\n<p>Brown likely will not play for the Knicks on an NBA court this year, similar to how his first stint with the team went. The 25-year-old possesses a lot of tools, especially given his tremendous size. He is a unique paint presence and is a legitimate shot-blocking threat. However, he did not offer much on the court beyond that. However, the New York native is still young and is worth bringing in on a low-risk contract. This is especially true for the Knicks.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably the biggest concern with the Knicks&#8217; roster is their center depth. The team acquired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/townska01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> in a blockbuster trade from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/06\/timberwolves-rudy-gobert-assesses-new-co-star-julius-randle\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> very recently. However, the team looks slim beyond Towns. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/r\/robinmi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mitchell Robinson<\/a>, who is now slated to be the team&#8217;s primary backup center, is expected to be out until sometime closer to December or January. Additionally, the Knicks will now rely more heavily on players like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/achiupr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Precious Achiuwa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/s\/simsje01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jericho Sims<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If there is any team Brown could potentially fit, it is the Knicks. However, there is no expectation he will spend the year with the organization beyond the G League.<\/p>\n<h3>The Last Word On Moses Brown and the New York Knicks<\/h3>\n<p>There is a lot to be excited about with the Knicks this season. After their impressive run last season, the Knicks are a top-three team in the Eastern Conference on paper. Additionally, many believe the Knicks are the biggest threat to the reigning champion <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/08\/past-boston-celtics-fan-favorite-tacko-fall-speaks-about-potential-nba-comeback\/\" target=\"_self\">Boston Celtics<\/a> in the conference. For the first time in a long time, there are legitimate championship expectations in New York. All season, many will follow the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/brunsja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jalen Brunson<\/a> and the recently acquired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bridgmi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mikal Bridges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks kick off their regular season against the Celtics on October 22nd. New York has a great opportunity to solidify themselves as legitimate title contenders right away by beating the Celtics, or at least making it tough for them. Furthermore, the Celtics will be without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/p\/porzikr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-10-09_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kristaps Porzingis<\/a>, a player Knicks fans are very familiar with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Knicks had a busy offseason this summer, and it looks like they are not done changing their roster around just yet.
