GREENBURGH, N.Y. — As the Knicks embark on the final week of preseason with two more exhibition games on the schedule, they have seen flashes of potential from their rookies and leadership from their veterans. But what they have not found is a clear-cut leader in the battle for the starting point guard spot.
