The New York Knicks have crafted a roster that’s flush with talented players at all five positions. That’s something of a luxury for head coach Jeff Hornacek, but it’s also a burden that he and the coaching staff must carry as they build their rotations.
Although most eyes have turned to the center position, one of the more understated stories is the struggle to create the ideal perimeter situation.
New York has two shooting guards who project to be of great value in 2017-18: Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee. Hardaway was signed in 2017 to be a featured scoring option, and Lee is entering the second season of a four-year deal that asks him to provide two-way contributions.
