With training camp coming soon, the New York Knicks are looking to their roster and with just one spot remaining on the Opening Day slot, the competition should be fierce. 

But in order to foster that competition, the Knicks need to have a robust training camp roster in order to have a solid pool of players to select from, which is why making impactful training camp signings is so crucial. 

In the pursuit of that process, the Knicks signed Drew Eubanks, who most recently played for the Sacramento Kings, to a training camp contract to see if Eubanks has what it takes to join the defending champions for next season. 

Eubanks is an eight-year veteran of the NBA, though he has bounced around significantly in his time in the NBA, playing for six different teams and never sticking with a team for more than one season since his initial four season stretch with the San Antonio Spurs to start his career.

Last season with the Kings, Eubanks averaged 5.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 13.1 minutes per game, playing in 42 total games while starting in 11.

The competition heading into training camp for the Knicks will be stacked against Eubanks, but the main advantage he has in being able to make the opening day NBA roster is the position that he plays. 

Eubanks is a typical big, being able to play both power forward and center, and those are two positions that the Knicks are desperately in need of. 

After the departures of Mitchell Robinson, Ariel Hukporti and Trey Jemison III in free agency this past offseason, the Knicks have found themselves in dire need of some additional support in the front court. 

While Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond will be taking up the majority of the minutes at center, the Knicks will still need dependable center options to back them up if either Drummond or Towns need rest, the game itself has reached a point where he result is all but guaranteed, or if either center enters into foul trouble.

Eubanks can be that big man and fill that need. With his size at 6'10 and 245 pounds and his defensive abilities, Eubanks could be a perfect fit for the Knicks to add that last layer of depth coming off the bench. 

Of course, it will still be up to Eubanks to prove himself in training camp to see if he's actually going to be worthy of filling that last spot, but the odds are in his favor.
