The Knicks practiced yet again on Wednesday as they prepare for Friday’s preseason opener. Head coach Tom Thibodeau heaped praise upon a couple of young guards during the media session.
We begin with Dennis Smith Jr., who has been getting his share of laurels during camp.
I’m conflicted on Dennis. The kid had a tough year, lost some family members, and did some impressive voter registration work during the election. He’s a good kid! But I’ve seen this “Dennis is having a great camp” stuff in previous years. He has been given more playing time than he has earned ever since coming to the Knicks in the Kristaps Porzingis trade.
