Delon Wright has joined the New York Knicks via a trade that involved Jericho Sims moving to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team deal. Known for his defensive prowess, Wright is one of just three players this season to record at least 23 steals and nine blocks while playing under 405 minutes. The nine-year veteran plays a pivotal role in creating turnovers and disrupting offensive plays, having previously led the NBA in deflections per 48 minutes.

However, Wright’s performance this season has raised eyebrows; he is currently averaging a mere 2.5 points per game with shooting percentages well below his career averages. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau hopes Wright can regain his shooting touch, as the team desperately needs scoring depth, especially from the bench. Despite Wright's defensive capabilities, the Knicks still face challenges, particularly regarding their size on the wing.
