He finished the year with averages of 11.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per contest while shooting 41.3% from the field and 36.8% from the three-point range in 27 games (14 starts).

This week, Westchester announced that they had traded Buie to Mexico City.

Via NBA G League (on June 16): "The 6’8” swingman spent last season as the G League’s YOUNGEST player. The newly turned 19-year-old posted 10.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 2.1 APG with four 20+ point games for the @capitanescdmx."

Many people commented on the trade.

@AllonzoTrierFC: "ANYONE BUT BOO BUIE "

@Btruetolife: "Ok they traded for his rights I guess now they can sign him as a 2way"

The Knicks finished last season as the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 51-31 record.

They beat the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics before losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals (in six games).
