In the postseason, Josh Hart was playing 48-minute games. He’s coming off the bench right now. An obvious top-100 player, Donte DiVincenzo, is also coming off the pine. During some moments in the postseason, Deuce McBride was heroic. He will play both guard positions and provide excellent on-ball defence and clutch shooting. The Knicks don’t lack guard depth—Tyler Kolek was lights out in Summer League, and Cam Payne was a fixture in the rotation in Milwaukee and Philadelphia last year.
