New York Knicks: Why Is Sasha Vujacic Ahead Of Ron Baker In The Rotation?

Sacha Vujacic played 13 minutes in the New York Knicks’ last game against the Brooklyn Nets, and was the primary bench to back up for starting shooting guard Courtney Lee. He tallied three points on 1-of-5 shooting, five rebounds, two turnovers, and two fouls in those minutes.

Vujacic is 32 years old, and prior to last season where he appeared in 61 games for the New York Knicks, had played in only two games since the 2010-11 season. The Slovenian, known as “The Machine”, is a veteran presence on the Knicks’ roster, and an experienced authority on the triangle offense—the system that team president Phil Jackson insists on implementing, but is used in only a handful of possessions per game.
