Why the Trade Benefits the New York Knicks

Collin Sexton took a huge step on the offense of end last season. The New York Knicks could use an offense of mind a point guard who can act as a weapon with the ball in his hands.

In 2019, Sexton averaged 20.8 points per contest. He played in 65 games and averaged 33 minutes a night. Sexton was also able to get it done from beyond the arc shooting 38% from deep.

Over two years, he averaged just three-assist per contest but those numbers will rise as more players get put around him. At 21-years-old, Sexton is looking like a point guard with a high ceiling in the league moving forward.

The Knicks have not been a desirable destination in recent years but with the change in the front office and at head coach, the notion could be on the move. All it takes is one or two players to come to the Mecca for the vibe to be completely flipped around the franchise.
