In their quest for depth at point guard, the Knicks are considering both Jarrett Jack and Archie Goodwin, posts Ohm Youngmisuk on ESPN Now.
Jack, 33, would bring another veteran presence to a position currently occupied by Ron Baker, rookie Frank Ntilikina and journeyman Ramon Sessions, who signed with the team earlier this month. Jack is trying to rebound from two season-ending injuries, a torn ACL in his right knee in January of 2016 and a torn right meniscus in March of this year. His only NBA action last season was two games with the Pelicans after signing a 10-day contract in late February.
At 23, Goodwin fits in better with New York’s youth movement. He played briefly last season with the Pelicans and Nets, amassing a combined 15 games, and spent most of the year with the Greensboro Swarm in the G League. A late first-round pick in 2013, Goodwin played his first three NBA seasons with the Suns, where his coach was current Knicks mentor Jeff Hornacek.
New York has 19 players headed to camp, one under the league maximum. The Knicks are over the cap, so any offer would have to be for the veteran’s minimum.
It’s ridiculous that the Knicks are over the cap without a starting point guard. Hardaway is going to have the ball a lot
Knicks are over the cap and only have one star player that any team would want – and he’s not anywhere close to being the highest paid player on the team. Goes to show how terrible the management team is.
Same thing with the Hornets. Kemba Walker is there star and makes 12 million dollars behind Dwight, MKG, Zeller, Batum and Marvin Williams. Lmao
I was expecting the Knicks to sign trey burke
Archie Goodwin would b a great addition
