Best Option: Malcolm Brogdon

If the New York Knicks have any reservations about Malcolm Brogdon, it’ll be in relation to his ability to stay healthy. Otherwise, he’s a perfect fit for this squad.

Malcolm Brogdon, like Immanuel Quickly and Collin Sexton, has scoring chops. That’s typical of a point guard in 2021-22. However, he’d also be the best distributor of those three options. His career-high of 7.1 assists per game in 2019-20 eclipses any total either is likely to ever hit in their careers.

He’s also a superior defender to either. Tom Thibodeau should be thanking us for even writing this piece. We all know how much defense means to him.

It’s true that Malcolm Brogdon has struggled with availability in recent seasons. The Knicks ought to roll the dice on him anyway. With the Pacers rebuilding and featuring a similar, much younger player in Tyrese Haliburton, he may be available at a discount.
