Dennis Smith Jr. has been working with Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

As we continue to slowly turn the page toward next season, one of the Knicks’ more enigmatic peculiarities is what will become of Dennis Smith Jr. Last season was just a terrible turn for DSJ. On top of personal tragedy, he also had a rugged list of injuries. A left oblique strain, a disk issue in his lower back and multiple stops in the concussion protocol weren’t helping that rickety jump shot. Neither were his coaches as it turned out, all of whom were sent packing. Now he’s working with Johnnie Bryant and the early returns seem decent.
