Ex-Knicks executive rips Mario Hezonja on Twitter

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja has a lot to prove still as a former lottery pick after the Orlando Magic decided to let him walk as a free agent this past offseason.

One person who doesn’t care for Hezonja’s game is former Knicks’ executive Clarence Gaines Jr., who worked under Phil Jackson.

Gaines went after Hezonja on Twitter by claiming that his defense is an issue.

If you're a @nyknicks fan & wondering why @mariohezonja couldn't EARN court time vs @celtics with @KevKnox going down it's because he's a huge liability as an individual defender.
