The New York Knicks entered Sunday, Feb. 11 with an opportunity to set the tone for the remainder of the 2017-18 NBA regular season. With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined by a torn ACL, the Knicks have shifted their focus to a long-term youth movement.
On Sunday, head coach Jeff Hornacek embraced the need to build for the future by addressing one of the primary reasons he’s been criticized.
Hornacek has been consistently criticized for his heavy usage of Jarrett Jack at the point guard position. It’s less a criticism of Jack and more a concern about how said decision has limited the minutes distributed to up-and-coming point guards Trey Burke and Frank Ntilikina.
