New York Knicks: What Will Joakim Noah’s Role Be In 2018?

Talk about a bad contract, New York Knicks big man Joakim Noah is being paid a boat-load of cash to play on the back-end of his career. After a 2017 season where Noah got into a physical altercation with former head coach Jeff Hornacek, he will have a new coach to deal with in David Fizdale.

So far, Noah enjoys the company of Fizdale much more, as he’s a relatable coach that adapts to the style of his players. In two season with the Knicks, Noah averaged just 4.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. That’s abysmal, especially when considering the prolific career Noah has had.
