Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
The last question was a trick question. By all appearances, the Knicks have already given up on Reddish.
Reddish fell completely out of the Knicks’ rotation by season’s end last year. Something tells us the same thing won’t happen to Thybulle – he’s the picture-perfect image of a Tom Thibodeau guy.
After all, Thibodeau is notoriously indifferent to offense. Defensive effort is all you need to make your way in his rotation. Thybulle provides it in spaces – he’s one of the best wing defenders in basketball.
Plus, who knows? His three-point percentage could return to his rookie marks. If so, he becomes one of the better 3-and-D wings in the NBA.

If not, he should still be able to find a niche role in this league. His defensive prowess is simply too impressive to keep him off the court altogether. Even in the midst of the three-point revolution.
