Phil Jackson and Jeff Hornacek would like to see Carmelo Anthony run the floor in pursuit of easy baskets this season for the New York Knicks.
“A lot of times he has a penchant to take the ball himself up the court and slow the play down, the development down, by pushing the ball up the court himself or taking the inbound pass,” team president Jackson said Friday. “Those are some of the small things that we asked to look at and maybe we could change. With the outstanding guard corps that we have -- Derrick Rose and Brandon Jennings, guys who can really push the ball at a certain level -- I think he’s going to be much more comfortable allowing them to do what they’re best at.
