Miles McBride is slated to play a big role for the Knicks this season. Whether or not that is being part of the starting unit or coming off of the bench remains to be seen. Either way, the two-way guard will be a big part of the Knicks' season. One under-discussed element of the part he will play is stepping into a bigger role as a backup ball-handler behind Jalen Brunson.
Cameron Payne and Delon Wright both seem like they will not be returning to the Knicks. Their departure leaves a void in the Knicks roster in terms of guards who are comfortable running the offense as a true point guard.
