The New York Knicks let several players from the 2020-21 roster go this off-season, including Elfred Payton, Frank Ntilikina, and Reggie Bullock. All three offered different attributes and skills but ultimately didn’t make the cut to continue on with the team.
In Frank’s case, his offensive development hit a wall and was unable to take his game to the next level, so the Knicks needed to clear his spot in favor of another player. Payton struggled considerably on offense and toward the end of the season last year, making way for Kemba Walker as the team’s new prolific free agent signing.
