The Knicks’ policy on the use of the West League Knicks of the G-League could change.
During his introductory call to Zoom, Thibodeau said that if a young candidate isn’t getting enough game time, there may be reason to explore sending him to the league.
“I think playing time is important,” said Thibodeau. “So if a young player isn’t getting the time needed for development, we will use the G-League. It has become an important part of our league. We will certainly take advantage of it. ”
