New York Knicks G Dennis Smith Jr. ought to follow Kyle Lowry’s path

Dennis Smith Jr. received a new lease on his NBA career when he was traded to the New York Knicks. Smith, prior to the trade, had recorded his first NBA triple-double after receiving six DNPs in January.

Head coach David Fizdale appears enamored with lead guards who have size and the ability to break down the defense off the dribble. Smith, 21, has no shortage of highlight-reel dunks and crossover dribbles as he attempts to make a long-lasting impression on a Knicks franchise in the midst of a rebuild.

Yet while time may appear to be on Smith’s side, that can all change this summer.
