After spending four seasons at Michigan State, Travis Trice joined the Westchester Knicks for his rookie season in the professional ranks. Trice, alongside Jimmer Fredette, formed one of the top backcourt duos in the NBA D-League during the 2015-16 season.
On the strength of having a strong and productive backcourt, the Knicks finished the season with a 28-22 record and advanced to their first-ever playoff series.
“It meant a lot to us and it was something we took pride in,” Trice said. “I think it was their second season last year and we wanted to be the first team to make the playoffs and really wanted to make the championship.
