ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania broke news Wednesday afternoon that New York Knicks point guard Malcolm Brogdon has decided to retire from the game of basketball.
His addition to the rotation this offseason was seen as a significant improvement over Cameron Payne for their back-up point guard position, as well as a major boon for their second-unit offensive firepower, as their bench ranked dead-last in offensive rating just last season.
Now, with his departure, a glaring hole has opened up behind star Jalen Brunson on the depth chart that desperately needs filling.
By the way things currently look, Tyler Kolek seems to be the obvious choice to step into the role.
