This season, the Knicks have strengthened their roster by acquiring players deserving of championships in a proactive manner. The acquisition of Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, two outstanding defensive wings, has greatly improved the team’s depth and starting lineup potential, which will be on display in October.

Knicks Add Point Guard Depth

In their pursuit of depth at the point guard position, the Knicks’ front office signed Cameron Payne to a one-year, $3 million deal to assist Jalen Brunson, who is coming off one of the best point guard seasons in Knicks history. This off-season, Brunson inked a new four-year, $156 million extension with the team.

The Experience and Role of Cameron Payne
With his extensive background, which includes 405 NBA games and 58 postseason appearances, Payne is positioned to be Brunson’s important backup.

During the previous season, Payne played in 78 games with the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 16.7 minutes, 7.4 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per contest. He continued to shoot with a.432 field goal percentage and a.390 perimeter shot percentage. Payne is renowned for his effectiveness as a scorer and his ability to distribute the ball despite having an unusual shooting technique.

Other Backup Choices Taken Into Account

During the off-season, Tyus Jones was also viewed as a possible backup guard by the Knicks. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, they made him an offer of about $10 million and two years.

Jones averaged 12 points, 7.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 66 games for the Washington Wizards over his 601 NBA appearances. Having a strong performance, he shot.489 from the field and.414 from three-point range. Jones has finished in the top 11 twice in the last three seasons and has been a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year twice.
