Welcome to the Knicks, Dink Pate! (2025 UDFA) 

Post#1 » by Jeff Van Gully » Sun Jun 29, 2025 12:04 am

not sure how promising a prospect he is, but he is technically a draft night acquisition invited to SL.

camp body? someone with immediate potential? long-term?

haven't been following him, but so far i like the big dink energy if nothing else. kid doesn't lack for confidence and intention.

what we thinking here?

RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

It seems like we drafted French Obi and now we've invited mini-Obi to the SL team. He's fun to watch, but if he were really good, he'd already be playing somewhere. Maybe he can be one of the last guys on the bench and if we have a great developmental coach, he could develop a shot and become a role player. Or if not, at least this board will have fun watching him slam dunk all over Summer League.

Fun guy for the Westchester Knicks

Potential to grow into an end-of the rotation guy if developed right, like 3-4 years down the road.

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles

Interested in seeing if any of these young guys will be on the roster and if any can actually play if given a role.

Need to see more than that one video, which is the only thing we've seen since he was acquired.

Pâté (UK: /ˈpæteɪ/ PAT-ay, US: /pæˈteɪ, pɑː-/ pa(h)-TAY, French: [pɑte]) is a forcemeat.


Dink 'Forcemeat' Pate...kinda has a ring to it... :lol:
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Correct. And pate is "a spreadable paste made from finely ground or pureed meat."
