This offseason the Knicks have lost experience and
leadership in players like Jason Kidd, Kurt Thomas, and Marcus Camby. Each of
these players was depended upon by the organization to not only improve the
games of their teammates around them, but also to provide wisdom for the
younger players on the team. If these players were to accomplish these things
the Knicks would in turn be one step closer to a championship.
As one is able to recognize these vets were unable to govern
the Knicks to a ring and most of the leadership was lost in the offseason (Kenyon
Martin as the exception).
Despite this, the Knicks managed to sign nine-year vet Beno
Udrih to a one year 1.27 million dollar contract in order to strengthen the
lack of leadership and experience that was lost in this year’s off-season.
Udrih, who averaged 10.2 points and 6.1 assists in 27 games
last season, is a great addition to the Knicks as he has proven him self to be
a true floor general and will come of the bench providing much needed guidance
for starting point guard Raymond Felton.
The nine-year vet will play along side Bargnani, and J.R
Smith on the Knicks second team and will supply the leadership that was lost
between this upcoming season and the last.
