According to Ian Begley who covers the New York Knicks for ESPN, the Knicks’ front office has targeted the Phoenix Suns’ P.J. Tucker with the hopes of improving their defensive mindset, a part of the team’s game that Head Coach Jeff Hornacek feels is severely lacking right now.
Last week Hornacek called out the entire team, from the top brass of the front office and the coaching staff to the players themselves, wondering if he has the players to play defense, and if his coaching staff has the right game plan in place to put the players they have in the right positions to play successful defense.
