Almond to Knicks

   Morris Almond's Jazz career officially came to a close today. My friend Howard Beck from the New York Times tweeted earlier today that Almond is on the New York Knicks' roster for the Las Vegas summer league. The Knicks have some names on that roster with former lottery picks Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Yaroslav Korolev and Mouhamed Sene. They also have Patrick Ewing Jr., Alex Acker, Blake Ahearn and David Noel in addition to Almond, who was the Jazz's 2007 first-round draft pick. He went on to set scoring records in the NBA Development League, but never got a lot of opportunity behind Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles with the Jazz.    --Ross Siler
