Knicks' Summer League Roster Announced

The Knicks announced the team roster for the 2009 NBA Summer League games to be held in Las Vegas from July 10th to 19th. Absent from the roster are Danio Gallinari who is recovering from back surgery and Eddie Curry who is recovering from everything from knee injury to family tragedy to post-traumatic employer stress syndrome.

The roster does include a number of veterans such as Morris Almond and UNLV favorite Wink Adams.

The Knicks get to see Hasheem Thabeet and Jonny Flynn when they play the Grizzlies and Kings respectively. However, the Knicks do not get to face Ricky Rubio who is not on the Timberwolves roster, nor Jonny Flynn and Gerald Henderson who are on the roster. Gerald Henderson is playing with the Wolves since his team, the Bobcats, are not fielding a summer league team. (Why do I get the impression that Bob Johnson is cutting costs before he sells the team.

Anyway, I wonder how many of these players will stick beyond Hill and Douglas. Probably, none after the fiasco with Anthony Roberson who lit up the league and made the Knicks roster last year only to apparently fizzle after signing his contract.
