One of the few bright spots from the 2016-17 NBA regular season was the potential displayed by Mindaugas Kuzminskas. The New York Knicks rookie received limited playing time, but his energy and fearlessness were a constant when he took the court.
As Kuzminskas makes waves at EuroBasket 2017 and prepares for the 2017-18 NBA season, it’s only fair to ponder what’s on the horizon.
Kuzminskas is expected to face a role of elevated importance during the 2017-18 season. Carmelo Anthony is on the trading block, the Knicks are embracing a youth movement, and head coach Jeff Hornacek is preparing to implement a more modern offense.
