Among the buzzwords for the Knicks in yet another lottery-bound season are youth and development.
But Saturday at the Garden, against the playoff-bound Bucks — OK, the playoff-bound Bucks who were without their best player — it was the elder statesman of the group, Jarrett Jack, who led the way for the banged-up Knicks.
And it still wasn’t enough.
Jack, 34, who had played 19 minutes since Feb. 14 before Saturday as the Knicks have sought to develop a trio of point guard kids, scored 18 points and passed for seven assists in 26 minutes. But like so much in this lost season, it didn’t matter as Milwaukee claimed a 115-102 victory.
