Knicks News: 3 Kemba Walker’s replacements on Tom Thibodeau’s roaster.

As on November 30, after the Knicks lost to the Brooklyn Nets, Tom Thibodeau announced that he’s is removing guard Kemba Walker out of the Knicks rotation and also the team’s starting lineup. Talking about his team’s defensive issues he assured the fans with taking good steps further in the league.

Further when asked about the reason behind this decision Tom said, “It’s a tough decision to make, but you always have to do what you think is best for the team,” Thibodeau said after practice Monday in explaining his decision. “I view Kemba as a starter, and so it’d be tough to play three small guards together. I gave it consideration, and I’ve got great respect for who Kemba is as a person and all he’s accomplished in this league.

“But I have to do what I think is best for the team.”

Tom keeping every mark checked decided to bench Walker in the favour of Alec Burks. Kemba Walker age 31, a New York City basketball legend and a four time NBA All-Star grabbed a two year $20 million deal past this summer after being led out by the Oklahoma City Thunder following a trade with the Boston Celtics.

Thibodeau wants Walker to be in the starting five moving forward. Referring the teams play in Atlanta he said-

“I want to tighten the rotation. I liked the way the team functioned, so it will be similar to what we did in the Atlanta game.”

Alec Burks

Evan Fournier

Now with a sign-and-trade deal with the Celtics, Evan is playing for the Knicks in the 2021-22 NBA season. Averaging at 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game Evan has been consistently improving for the Knicks.
