The Westchester Knicks, the G League affiliate of the New York Knicks, have promoted assistant coach Derrick Alston to be their new head coach. That spot had been left vacant when former head coach Mike Miller was added to the Knicks’ NBA coaching staff on Monday.
Alston previously served as an assistant on Miller’s staff. A native of The Bronx, Alston was a second-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1994 NBA Draft. He played nearly two seasons in Philadelphia. He then played two games with the Atlanta Hawks in 1996 before spending over a decade on overseas courts.
