Nothing went right for the New York Knicks in the second half against the Boston Celtics. While there were plenty of issues that led to another collapse, Dennis Smith Jr.‘s disappointing play is the elephant in the room.
His future with the Knicks can still be bright, but this is a notably dark moment in Smith’s young career. He is borderline unplayable and his body language doesn’t inspire confidence that he will find his game anytime soon.
For the long-term development of his young point guard, David Fizdale needs to give Smith a DNP on Monday.
