From Microwave to Passing Fancy, Trey Burke has gone from impersonating Vinnie Johnson to having more Magic Johnson in his game for the Knicks.
It’s the natural progression when you go from bench guy to starter.
“It’s a thin line. Coming off the bench, obviously you’re in a more strict role,” said Burke, who heads into Tuesday’s game at the Garden against the Magic following a career high-tying 15-assist effort. “Coming off the bench … you have a little bit more room to be aggressive.”
And he still aggressively scores when starting — witness his 42-point detonation three games ago.
