Ben Wallace wasn’t the only big-name guest attending Knicks practice Thursday.
John Calipari, who coached current Knicks Julius Randle and Kevin Knox at Kentucky, spent the day seated with president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry during the team’s session in Tarrytown.
“I’m taking advantage of that. We don’t have him here for long. But to have a guy like that with that kind of brain and understanding of the game, it’s good to talk ideas with,” coach David Fizdale said. “[Calipari has] very good knowledge of two of our players. We invited him to camp and he couldn’t make it to camp, but he said, don’t you worry, I’m going to come visit you guys when I come to New York.
