New York Knicks: Phil Jackson Prioritizing Perimeter Players

The New York Knicks have built a roster that consists of promising interior talent, aging interior talent, and somewhat polarizing interior talent. That problem with that, of course, is that New York has failed to acknowledge the need for a quality perimeter.

With four big men who all command playing time, team president Phil Jackson is preparing to address the Knicks’ most glaring flaw.

Center Willy Hernangonez and power forward Kristaps Porzingis are widely regarded as franchise cornerstones. Joakim Noah, meanwhile, is signed for three more seasons at $54 million, and Kyle O’Quinn continues to show flashes of brilliance.
