Knicks: Tony Wroten Confident He’ll Win Starting PG Job

If there’s one thing you need to know about recent New York Knicks signee Tony Wroten, it’s that he’s a confident individual. Having acclimated himself to his surroundings, as evidenced by his defeating Kristaps Porzingis in the team’s FIFA tournament, Wroten is turning his attention to winning something bigger.

With supreme confidence, Wroten is gunning for the starting point guard job.

Wroten’s recovery from 2015 knee surgery took an unexpected turn for the worst when he prematurely returned to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015-16. Philadelphia cut Wroten after his lackluster run, but after closely evaluating his progress, Knicks team president Phil Jackson spotted the 22-year-old’s potential.
