The small forward/wing position is a big question for the New York Knicks next season.
RJ Barrett can play it well, but Tom Thibodeau clearly prefers playing him at shooting guard. Reggie Bullock proved a great three-and-D last season and is a free agent, but the Knicks also hold his Bird rights. This means they can go over the salary cap without consequence if they wish to re-sign him.
But behind Bullock, the Knicks don’t really have anyone who can effectively play the wing. Kevin Knox II’s shortcomings on defense saw New York often utilize smaller lineups down the stretch, thus the combined successes of Alec Burks, Derrick Rose, and Immanuel Quickley.
