Fresh off winning the NBA championship and wrapping up the 2026 NBA Draft with a couple of new faces now part of the organization, the New York Knicks keep shaping their roster.
Yes, we’re all still waiting for the literal elephant in the room to announce the inevitable, but for now we’ll have to do with a few low-impact, lower-level additions to the Summer League squad.
According to 247Sports recruiting analyst Dushawn London, Oziyah Sellers signed a Summer League deal with New York after going undrafted on Wednesday.
The move comes a few days after the draft ended, as undrafted guard Sellers didn’t join any team but was able to secure an opportunity to stay on the professional radar until mid-to-late July at the latest, and playing for the reigning champs with the spotlight that’d give him.
Sellers is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard and he’s coming off his senior season at St. John’s Red Storm after starting his NCAA run at USC and spending the 2025 season at Stanford. Seemingly ored of Cali, Sellers moved all the way to the East Coast to land with St. John’s, where he averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 42.9% from the field and 35.1% from three-point range across 37 appearances as a senior.
Blame it on cold weather or whatever, but before finishing his career in Queens, Sellers was a better shooter from all distances than the man who popped up in a Red Storm uniform. His best season came as a junior during his lone year playing ACC ball, but it’s also fair to say he didn’t quite bomb in St. John’s, where he started 36 of the 37 games he played, logging 28.6 MPG.
The Summer League will, at the very least, give Sellers a chance to compete against pros for a few games and prove his talents are good enough to earn him a roster spot, whether that’s with the Knicks or elsewhere, including a potential G League stint before making it to the majors.
The expectation is that New York’s Summer League roster will be filled with NBA-proven players, including Tyler Kolek, Mo Diawara, Ariel Hukporti, Kevin McCullar Jr., and Pacome Dadiet, with true-freshmen Jack Kiyan and Tyler Nickel joining them on the court.
The Vegas Summer League runs from July 9 through July 19 in Sin City, with the Knicks scheduled to play four games (from July 10 through July 16) that might or might not see them advance to the playoffs of the little hot tiny tournament.
