Big man Noah Vonleh has signed with the New York Knicks, the team announced Tuesday.

Vonleh was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Chicago Bulls. He will likely be the first big man off the bench in a role Kyle O'Quinn held down last season.

The Knicks will be the fourth team in five seasons for the No. 9 overall pick of 2014, who will join a bench mob of former top-10 selections that includes Mario Hezonja (No. 5, 2015), Emmanuel Mudiay (No. 7, 2015), and Trey Burke (No. 9, 2013).

Still just 22 years old, Vonleh played in 54 games split between the Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers last season, averaging 4.9 points and 5.8 rebounds a night.
