After much complaining and trying figuring out what the New York Knicks should do with that open roster spot, the New York Knicks shocked everyone when they signed Thanasis Antetokounmpo to a 10-day contract out of their D-League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, early last week. Some thought that the roster spot would be used for a point guard upgrade of sorts, maybe someone like former Sixers guard Tony Wroten.
But maybe this was the best move for the Knicks. The move took me by surprise, as I didn’t see the wing as a position of need.
