2. Exciting Young Talent
New York is an excellent spot for Chris Paul at this stage in his career. Over the past few seasons, the Knickerbockers have acquired some young talent through the draft and trade market.
The Knicks’ current roster consists of notable names like RJ Barrett, Kevin Knox II, Allonzo Trier, Dennis Smith Jr, and Bobby Portis.
Clearly, the young talent on the Knicks’ roster needs to develop but playing with Paul will help them progress faster.
New York’s roster is lacking a true point guard who can run the offense and create their own shot.
Paul can help this team learn how to commit to both ends of the floor and how to close out games. He would also, help this franchise re-establish a winning environment.
At the unexpected season break due to COVID-19, Paul is averaging 17.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game.
