New York Knicks: Joakim Noah can become a crucial part of rebuild

Perhaps the most intriguing storyline surrounding the New York Knicks is the future of center Joakim Noah. The New York native left the team last January after a reported physical altercation with then-coach Jeff Hornacek during practice.

The argument was reportedly centered around his lack of playing time during the 2017-18 regular season.

In his two seasons with the Knicks, Noah has averaged a mere 4.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. This is an underwhelming stat line for a player who signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the team during the summer of 2016.
