Role Players
basically in watching the playoffs I am seeing a major differnce in supporting casts , every playoff team has at least 2 players who effectively supliment their star players by
being able to play good defense and hit an outside jumper.
or being able to play on the court by giving his team a bunch more possesions by either being an excellent rebounder, getting steals and blocks , taking charges .
the knicks have too many players who are not good enough or versatile enough to effectively aid their scorers , they dont space the floor and they dont get enough extra possesions .
they were last in blocks.
only 4 teams had less steals than them.
its easy to blame a team's stars when things aren't going well , but if the other team has given their starsthe type of help they need to be most effective , the knicks haven't in alot of cases it wouldn't matter anyway how good your stars are.
a very good start to the rebuilding effort would be draft well and get some role players who are worthy of minutes at the end of games...
