Trey Burke quickly proves he’s breath of fresh air Knicks needed

Trey Burke goes up for a shot Monday in the fourth quarter of the Knicks' 119-104 victory over the Nets.

Trey Burke brought a new look at point guard — even if it was only for eight minutes.

Making his Knicks debut, the newly signed jitterbug sparked the Knicks in a six-minute stint during the second quarter. Burke, the former Jazz lottery bust, showed a terrific handle — a dazzling dribbler Jarrett Jack never was and 19-year-old rookie Frank Ntilkina can aspire to.

Even Ntilikina, who seemed rejuvenated by Burke’s signing posting his first double-double in the Martin Luther King Day victory over the Nets, saw the stylistic difference he will bring.
