Two A’s and a B plus. Those were the respective grades that Yahoo Sports, SNY, and Bleacher Report gave the Knicks for their signing of Donte DiVincenzo. They listed his outside shooting, which had jumped up to 39.7% the season prior, his energy, tendency to be in the right spots, secondary playmaking, and defense as reasons why the four-year $47 million signing not only made sense but was a good and necessary one for a Knicks team who was in dire need for some spacing and wing depth.
So going into the season, it’s safe to say that fans had pretty high expectations for the former Villanova Wildcat.
