The Knicks finally confirmed their backup point guard. Once Malcolm Brogden announced his retirement, the Knicks were left with a void to fill at the backup point guard position. And they signed Landry Shamut to their final roster spot, who’s not a point guard. So, who’s going to be the Knicks backup point guard? Well, according to new reports, that role will be given to Miles McBride. Shout out to James L. Edwards with The Athletic for giving us this following information. According to him, Miles McBride is a good player, but he’s more of a shooting guard than a natural point guard. Tyler Koh is the most traditional point guard on the roster, but he’s young and still has some kinks to work out in his game. McBride was going to play a substantial role regardless of whether New York added another point guard or not. So, a lot of his time will be spent playing backup point guard. Maybe Brown throws Kle minutes here and there, but I don’t see it happening consistently. It’s also possible, though a long shot, that Brown uses Josh Hart as the backup point guard. He’s a good passer and pusher of pace. At the very least, it might be worth trying if other things don’t work. And while Deuce McBride is currently penciled in as the Knicks backup point guard, according to head coach Mike Brown, whoever grabs that role during practice, they’re going to be the backup point guard. So, it could go to Deuce McBride, but also it could go to Tyler Cole. Shout out to Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News for giving us this following information. According to Jaylen Brunson, we are in good hands. Great hands. Tyler Cole, he’s been getting better every day. Deuce McBride, he’s been getting better every day. Those guys, they come in and they work on their game nonstop. When you see that, you have the utmost confidence that when their number is called, they’re going to be ready to go. So, like I said, we’re in good hands. And according to Mike Brown, here’s what he had to say about that backup point guard position. According to him, whoever goes and grabs it, we feel like we have a deep roster and a lot of guys will have an opportunity to grab whatever minutes might have been there or might not have been there. It’s just a case of earning your stripes. We’ll figure out at the end of the day whoever’s going to get whatever minutes are available. It doesn’t sound like only Deuce McBride will get those type of minutes. It sounds like Tyler Kolk will get some run, too. Although, it seems that the opportunities Tyler Koh is going to get will be more situational versus consistent. And honestly, while he’s not mentioned here, Jordan Clarkson, I expect him to play a lot of minutes at that backup point guard position, especially when he’s sharing the floor with Deuce McBride. Now, NBA insider James L. Edwards with the Athletic did state exactly that Deuce McBride right now is the Knicks backup point guard, but I truly feel the Knicks as a team are going to cover that backup point guard position. That means some nights you’re going to see Clarkson, other nights you’re going to see Kch and most nights you’re going to see Deuce McBride. And I’m not saying Deuce McBride is not better off ball. He is in my opinion. But that final preseason game, he racked up a few assists. He had a couple of assists to Gerson Yaelli, catching him for open three-point shots. I like that from Deuce McBride. Now, only time will tell to see if he does this consistently, but give him the opportunity and see what happens. And under Mike Brown, it’s clear he’s going to get that opportunity to play backup point guard. But also, there are so many opportunities a part of this roster. Look at the backup center position when Mitchell Robinson is out of games, especially because he’s going to be load managed. Ariel Lakporti. He is gonna get an opportunity to showcase what he can do. You’re about to be very surprised because recently he was spotted working on his three-point shooting. That’s right. Huck maybe sooner or later will have a three-point shot added to his arsenal. And at that size, if he’s open from three and can hit them consistently, he is going to be one of the most dangerous big men in the game today. Without further ado, let’s take a look at Hucky working on that three-point shot.

Now, without further ado, let’s take a look at Hucky working on that three-point shooting. All right. That wasn’t cash, but it went in. I really like his form, although he has to really make sure he doesn’t move to the side when he jumps. But I like his form a lot. Here he is at the other side. Oh, that’s Cash. That was good. Cash again. Let’s go ahead. That was insane. One corner he makes a few but then misses a lot. The other corner he cannot miss. Now, I know what a lot of you guys are going to say in the comments. Why are you so hyped? Calm down. Relax. It’s an empty gym and he’s shooting threes. Why are you so excited? Let me tell you why I’m so excited. We have a big man on this team who can run well, block well, rebound well, has a back to the basket game, has a hook shot. And now you’re telling me he’s working on his three-point shooting and his form looks good and he’s hitting those threes. How else do you want me to respond to this in the future? He is clearly going to be the Knicks future center. That is without a doubt. He looks the role. He is playing the part and he is working on every facet of his game. And every time we look up and we watch Ariel Huckporti, he is always doing something to improve his game. He is practicing, working on his three-point shooting or working with some of the greats from this game. Players like Patrick Ewing, players like Allen Houston, players like Carl Anthony Towns, players like Mitchell Robinson, because he believes he doesn’t know everything. So, he wants to learn a little bit from everybody and adapt some of what he learns from them to his game. And the more he does that, the better off he’ll be. And clearly with that three-point shooting, he’s been watching Cat and working out with Cat. And if he can start hitting the three like that, ladies and gentlemen, what do you do? What do you do against Hucky if he can play you inside and outside like that at that height? Good luck to the league because once he unlocks this, you’re not stopping Hucky. Shout out to channel sponsor FanDuel, America’s number one sports book, for giving us this updated information and these latest odds on who’s going to be the regular season MVP this season. And as you can see, SGA is on top at plus 160. Then you have Joker at plus 300. Then you have Luca at plus400. Giannis at plus 1,200. Tying him is Victor Wembayana also at 1,200. And then rounding out this list is Anthony Edwards at plus 25500. Now I know what you’re probably thinking. I see all these players but recap. I don’t see Jaylen Brunson. That’s right. FanDuel and Vegas do not believe that Jaylen Brunson, at least right now, is on that list. Now, if I expanded it to a top 10, he would be on the list. I’m not sure where the odds are for Jaylen Brunson right now, but I believe last time I checked it was about ninth or 10th. We have waited 53 years for the Knicks to break this drought, break this curse. And I believe this year in a weakened Eastern Conference, after all the moves Leon Rose and this Knicks front office has made, we are finally in the right position to take advantage of this league, go to the NBA finals, win it all, and then start the parade in New York City. But what about you guys? What do you think about the Knicks making Deuce McBride their backup point guard? And what about Hucky working on his three-point shooting? Let me know how you feel about that in the comments section below, guys, because honestly, I would love to hear from you. But that’s going to do it for this episode. I hope you enjoyed it.
