It is at least somewhat strange that, in a league that has become increasingly dominated by guard play over the last few years, the New York Knicks have built a roster that is extremely heavy on front-court players.
Their best player—Carmelo Anthony—is a forward. Four of the five free agents they signed—Robin Lopez, Kyle O'Quinn, Derrick Williams and Kevin Seraphin—are forwards or centers. Their lottery pick and designated future of the franchise—Kristaps Porzingis—is a hybrid forward/center. Even their top bench player—Lance Thomas—is a forward.
So it should come as no surprise that the Knicks have not exactly gotten inspired guard play through the first third of the 2015-16 season.
