The battle for the New York Knicks point guard position got a little clearer Wednesday night. Dennis Smith Jr., Frank Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton were all trying to “earn” their time. However, one guard took steps forward and the others took a few steps back.
Coach David Fizdale said that “no one has earned” the starting job yet, in regards to the point guard position. RJ Barrett was the man running point to begin the game then Payton took over, playing extremely well, despite careless fouls.
Payton was able to push the ball up the floor and give the team a better fast break then the rest.
