One of the most intriguing moves of Phil Jackson‘s tenure as team president was the mid-season signing of point guard Tony Wroten. Wroten, who was selected at No. 25 overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, had been cut by the Philadelphia 76ers due to complications in his return from a torn ACL.
Wroten didn’t play a minute with the Knicks in 2015-16, but there’s a feeling throughout the organization that he’ll have a significant role with the team in 2016-17.
It’s rare that a player is signed to a multi-year deal in the middle of a season, especially when they aren’t available to play.
