New York Knicks sign Aussie Jordan Vandenberg

The 7-foot-1 Australian, an undrafted free agent, averaged 2.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 9.9 minutes in two games for New York's entry in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Last season at North Carolina State, he averaged 4.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.41 blocks and 22.1 minutes in 32 games.

Interesting signing. Not a lot of details about guarantee or not. Good on him.

Likely to go straight to the D-League given they have a pretty broad roster already?

New York is limited to the minimum salary for the Australian native who went undrafted out of North Carolina State this June, though it's unclear if he’ll receive any guaranteed salary. The 7’1″ Vandenberg becomes the 20th player on the Knicks roster.

New York can keep the D-League rights to as many as four of the players it cuts during the preseason...

Most are just realists, not negative. Everyone loves seeing Aussies succeed, otherwise there wouldn't be a million Aussie NBA posts each time one of our own scores 10+ points

And most posters are probably smart enough to not get wet over the fact a bloke is going to be playing D-League
