The New York Knicks underwent some dramatic changes this offseason, most notably with the addition of former Chicago Bulls stars Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. Yet on a note more related to the Utah Jazz, Knicks team president (and former Jazz nemesis, but that’s besides the point) Phil Jackson brought in former Jazz guard Jeff Hornacek as head coach.
Hornacek was fired midway through the 2015-16 season by the Phoenix Suns, but fortunately for him, his period of unemployment was very short-lived. However, he will have his work cut out for him as he looks to transform a Knicks team that has been an NBA bottom feeder for several seasons back into a competitor.
