James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, and Tony Bradley are three options if the Knicks want a third-string center behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond.
Now, another big man has just become available. On Wednesday, the Toronto Raptors waived Trey Jemison III.
Jemison spent the 2025-26 season with the Knicks on a two-way contract. He spent most of the season with the Westchester Knicks in the G League.
In 13 games in New York, he averaged 1.0 point and 1.4 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per contest.
Jemison's numbers were a little more impressive in the G League, posting 8.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per night in 31 games.

The Knicks are familiar with Jemison, and vice versa. However, Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick in 2020, could have the edge for the roster spot that's up for grabs.

Without their starters, the Knicks fell to the Raptors by 50 points (148-98) in Tuesday's preseason action.
Wiseman scored 18 points on 7-for-8 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds in 24 minutes.
He could be a valuable lob threat if he makes the Knicks' roster out of the preseason.
