While COVID-19 has shut down NBA basketball games, the New York Knicks continued to work behind the scenes to shape their front office. On Monday, the Knicks reportedly hired Utah Jazz VP of Player Personnel Walt Perrin to be their new assistant GM and head of college scouting. Perrin spent nearly 20 years with the Utah Jazz, overseeing their draft process, from organizing workouts to advanced scouting.
During Perrin’s time in Utah, the Jazz have resembled a sound organization, from player development to playoff appearances. The Jazz made the playoffs 10 of those 20 seasons.
