Tim Hardaway Jr. has been through three team presidents, two coaches and more teammates he’d care to count in his two seasons after becoming the Knicks’ 2013 first-round draft pick.
“You get drafted and basically 80 percent of the team is gone,’’ Hardaway said. “Not many guys are left. So it’s been tough.’’
After his sparkling rookie year after being selected 24th overall by former team president Glen Grunwald, Hardaway struggled fitting into Derek Fisher’s new program, his 3-point shot abandoning him.
But the shooting guard out of Michigan ended with a flourish, soaring in his final three games despite a bad wrist that had forced him to miss nine straight from mid-March to early April.
