2. Ryan Arcidiacono
In 2022, Ryan Arcidiacono went back and forth as a Knickerbocker. On Jan. 6, he signed a 10-day contract with the Knicks. A week later, the front office waived him. The following week after being waived, New York signed the former NCAA Most Outstanding Player to another 10-day contract. After his second 10-day contract, Arcidiacono went back to play in the G League. In mid-February, the Knicks called on him again and signed him for the rest of the season.
In the 10 games he played in for New York last year, he shot 50% from the field and 44% from three-point range.
Arcidiacono has proved he can play this game since college. After leading the Villanova Wildcats to a title, the university retired his jersey number in 2020. He signed a contract with the Chicago Bulls in 2017 and saw a good amount of playing time in the four years he was there.
In New York, Arcidiacono has the chance to link up with Jalen Brunson again. Hopefully, the chemistry is still there. Arcidiacono will have to display his shooting abilities and be better on the defensive end throughout training camp and the preseason to show Thibodeau.

Feron Hunt</a> at the end of the 2021-22 season. The six-foot-eight forward went undrafted in 2021. He went on to play for the Dallas Mavericks with their Summer League team. Although he signed contracts with the Mavericks and the New Orleans Pelicans, he never played for those franchises.</p>
<p>After signing with the Knickerbockers in March, Hunt has only seen the floor twice for a total of nine minutes.</p>
<p>Coming out of college, according to scouts, Hunt’s biggest upside was his defensive abilities. He can guard multiple positions, making it hard for smaller guards to shoot over him. His athleticism was also brought up by scouts as his energy can be a spark to a team. I think that Thibs will appreciate Hunt, especially on the defensive end. If he displays this during training camp and into the preseason, he may be able to secure some minutes opening night.</p>

<h3>1. Isaiah Hartenstein</h3>
<p>A seven-foot big man is what the Knicks need! It’s always good to have an anchor down low defending the paint. The good thing about <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2022/09/28/4-players-make-name-knicks-training-camp/3/"https://dailyknicks.com/2022/08/01/3-isaiah-hartenstein-stats-knicks-fans-love/">Isaiah Hartenstein</a> is that he can be a bit of a stretch 5 at times. He can slide out to the three and is capable of making the shot.</p>
<p>Last season with the Los Angeles Clippers, he shot 47% from three-point range. Coach Ty Lue praised the German center for his instincts and the way he passes the ball, which is impressive for a player his height.</p>
<p>Last season was <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2022/09/28/4-players-make-name-knicks-training-camp/3/"https://www.clipsnation.com/platform/amp/2022/5/4/23041586/clippers-in-review-isaiah-hartenstein-big-bench-boost-contract-season-highlights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his breakout year</a> and he will look to continue to produce for New York. There’s no doubt that he will be heavily involved in the rotation. If he shoots the ball well and defends during training camp as well as the preseason, Hartenstein will be well on his way.</p>
