Inside look at the revamped Knicks roster
NY Post
The Knicks roster is almost set — having spent their cap space and having only the $4.9 million room exception left for one more veteran. Here is a look at the 16 players expected to be at training camp. The Knicks can enter the regular season with 15 on the main roster and two players on two-way G-League contracts.
PG Kemba Walker: Knicks fans are ecstatic. The former Rice High/UConn NCAA champion has upgraded the starting point guard position immensely with Elfrid Payton gone. However, Walker’s balky left knee bears watching — as does his defense at age 31. That’s why new Celtics GM Brad Stevens couldn’t get rid of him fast enough and the Knicks got him as a waiver-wire free agent. PG Derrick Rose: With an improved 3-point shot, Rose put together 35 wonderful games for the Knicks. He’s at his best playing for Tom Thibodeau. At this stage, the 2011 MVP is most effective if his minutes don’t exceed 25 a night.More Related News
