Deuce McBride is facing an uphill battle for legitimate playing time in his rookie season. He’s joining a New York Knicks playoff team that brought back the entire core while adding a few pieces in free agency and the draft.
If McBride is going to see any playing time for the Knicks this year, he needs to earn it. Wednesday night’s Summer League game against the Lakers is a good start.
McBride, 20, was dialed in from distance, hitting all six of his three-point attempts. In fact, he was 7-for-9 from the floor en route to 22 points.
