For Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau, Shake Milton’s process of fitting into a playoff-bound Eastern Conference team has been “very good.” The Knicks signed Milton on the free agent market after the veteran guard reached a buyout agreement with the league-worst Detroit Pistons.
Alec Burks, acquired alongside Bojan Bogdanovic, has been struggling with his shot. Thibodeau faces questions about Burks' status, potentially opening the door for Deuce McBride or Milton to step up if Burks continues to struggle.
