Big man hoping to get full-time deal with Knicks or elsewhere

Luke Kornet has participated in David Fizdale’s workouts the past five weeks, the new Knicks coach hoping to add another dimension to Kornet’s game and make him not just a 3-point, big-man specialist.

Fizdale wants the 7-foot free-agent Kornet to be able to take it to the rim and finish with authority if the 3-pointer isn’t there.

“He wants everyone to be able to drive and finish,’’ Kornet told The Post in a phone interview. “It’s something I’ve worked a on a lot — being able to finish better. My 3-point shooting is the center of my offensive game and I want to be great at that.
