Emmanuel Mudiay cranks up his expectations — starting now
Emmanuel MudiayLOS ANGELES — Will this be March Madness or Mudiay Madness?
With Emmanuel Mudiay still rounding into shape and mastering Jeff Hornacek’s playbook, the Knicks’ new starting point guard believes March could be his.
The 2015 lottery pick has played in six games for the Knicks, engaged in five practices, made three starts and has posted good numbers. Mudiay is averaging 11.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds but shooting just 40.9 percent.
Defense and conditioning have been issues. As the Knicks said goodbye to February and were set to kick off a four-game road trip Friday at Staples Center against the Clippers, Mudiay said he thinks this could be his time.
