REAL REASON Knicks Signed Shake Milton… | Knicks News

As recently announced the New York Nicks signed Shake Milton for the rest of the season now there were a number of players that Nicks could have added to this roster let’s face it with the injuries the Knicks are dealing with they have a need at nearly every

Position so why did they add Shake Milton they already have Alec Burks they already have miles McBride why is the real reason Shake Milton is on this roster today we’re going to break down that reason and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the

Channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started why did the New York Knicks sign Shake Milton for the rest of the season there are a number of players the Knicks

Could have added to this team if you just look at the Knicks roster from top to bottom they don’t really need another guard just in terms of players they have available Alec Burks Dante de vinchenzo miles McBride Jaylen Brunson now I know jayen Brunson went down last night with

An injury but hopefully he’s okay and can come back soon either way if you’re looking at the Knicks roster they really don’t need another guard they might need another forward another Wing maybe another big man but really not another guard so really why did the New York

Nicks do this why did they add Shake Milton apart from any other free agent on the buyout Market they could have added well according to Ian Bagley here’s the reason why apart from other couple of factors according to Bagley the Nicks added Shake Milton to the roster more so about adding depth amid

The injuries and not necessarily about Milton immediately taking over somebody’s spot in the rotation obviously a rotation can always change based on health and performance so as you just heard there from Resident NBA Insider for the New York Nixon Ian Bagley he just informed us the Nicks added Shake Milton because of the

Injuries that they’re dealing with the fact that they need more depth and they need more scoring Off the Bench and Shake would be able to give you all of that and then some but there’s also another reason Shake was added a real main reason in my opinion that a lot of

People aren’t talking about and it’s one reason why Shake Milton is on this roster right now and that man’s name is Alec Burks Alec Burks since being traded from the Detroit Pistons to the New York Knicks has had one of the worst seasons of his career take a look at these

Horrible numbers since he’s been traded to the Knicks the numbers for Burks are certainly disappointing especially when looking at his efficiency so far Burks is shooting 32% from the field and 35% from three-point range the inefficiency from Burks is the area that is hurting the Knicks especially when they haven’t

Been using miles McBride Off the Bench as of much and you guys have to understand once Burks is in that game and he’s playing heavy minutes miles McBride is likely not playing heavy minutes so when he does enter the game he doesn’t have that type of feeling

When he enters the game doesn’t have that chemistry and honestly probably feels like somebody’s out for his job and taking his minutes so that motivation he has to play the game really isn’t there a lot however last night when jayen Brunson went down miles McBride stepped up in a big way and he

Was one of the main reasons the Knicks took that game against Cleveland however jayen Brunson going down presents a huge opportunity not only for shake not only for Miles McBride not only for Alec Burks but anybody on that roster willing to take another step and try to show

This team what they can do given all the injuries that they have that next man up mentality is absolutely real and we need more of it given all the injuries we are dealing with right now including Jaylen Brunson but looking at those numbers from Alec Burks it is not hard to

Understand why the New York Nick signed Shake Milton it’s because their confidence and their faith in Alec Burks each and every day goes down and down and down because of his play the fact that he has little to no impact when he’s out there his defense looks bad his

Offense looks bad and honestly Tom thibo cannot continue to justify playing him so many minutes over guys like miles McBride because McBride when he’s out there playing consistent highlevel minutes just gives you a better product to watch and he’s more impactful for the Knicks when you switch that name with

Burks he is not as impactful he doesn’t give you the same type of scoring help and his assist making his playmaking just isn’t good enough right now I feel like he still thinks he’s in Detroit because the way he’s playing looks like somebody who’s playing for a team that

Has no hopes to go to the playoffs that’s how he looks and he has to understand he is not in Detroit anymore he is part of the New York Knicks a legit playoff Contender a legit contender in the Eastern Conference when fully healthy since that’s the case he

Has to understand the personnel and who’s around him he hasn’t done that he hasn’t done that for a number of games right now and the New York Knicks were probably pressed at the gun thinking to themselves you know what Shake is only available right now he may not be

Available in the future we need help in this position immediately and the people that we have here are not doing what they need to do we still need to float until we get our players back that is even more so the case with Jaylen Brunson and him injuring his knee having

A knee contusion we don’t know how long he’s going to be out the news is hopeful that he could be out a few games but I want to wait until the medical doctors give us that official update but miles McBride has an opportunity Shake Milton has an opportunity Burks now because of

This injury has an opportunity but Shake Milton was added to this roster because the players that we have playing the guard position did not Step Up consistently like we needed them to do and was not able to give Jaylen Brunson a long enough rest if any of those

Things were true the Knicks would have not made this move they might have made another move they might have added more depth more bigs More Wings something to that effect they probably would not have added another guard however when you’re seeing the results you’re seeing from the Knicks their bench over these last

Few games mind you we’ve dropped more games that we’ve won in these last nine or 10 games the Knicks seeing all of that wanting to save their season wanting to make sure they’re a playoff team and not a playin team made this small addition to their roster and made

A statement not only to the entire league but to the roster as well too that if you don’t step up and do what you need to do we have other players on this roster that can come in and help immediately Shake is one of those guys

So Alec Burks the clock is on you Tick Tock my friend Tick Tock if you don’t step up and do everything you need to do for this Knicks team especially given all of the injuries we are dealing with right now you are going to be out of the

Rotation Shake is going to be in that rotation and so is Miles McBride and you’re just going to ride the bench until maybe Tom tho feels comfortable enough with you to play you again maybe in the playoffs at that point in time but honestly right now you look like

You’re playing yourself out of the rotation and other players are here they’re ready to take your position and start playing it right away so you better step your game up Burks because the main reason Shake is here is because of you and Shake is going to join a

Knicks team that is a playoff Contender whose roster has been depleted by injuries but when the Knicks get back to full strength Milton will have to fight with Burks and the improving miles McBride for a rotation spot Milton has averaged 6.8 points 1.5 assist while shooting 42. 3% from the field and 33.3%

From the three-point line for the Pistons Milton will be the third player represented by caa’s Drew Morrison to join the Knicks after OG an anobi and Isaiah hartenstein as we just heard from Sports Illustrated Shake Milton being part of CIAA that explains a lot and also

Explains why he was signed but also a little bit more than that as we just heard from them Shake is going to be competing with Alec Burks and Miles McBride for those minutes once the Knicks get fully healthy so don’t just think once the Knicks are fully healthy

He’s going to ride the bench that might not be the case Burks might be the one who’s riding the bench in my opinion the way we’re going to see this play out is that the New York Knicks are going to try all of these guys out at heavy

Minutes and whoever performs the best they’re going to get that permanent rotation spot and the other player whether that be big bride or whether that be Burks one of them is going to ride the bench out for a very long time they’re probably going to be situational

No knock against Burks no knock against anybody else I’m just saying what it is if Burks performed the way he was supposed to consistently Shake Milton would not be on this roster the fact that he is means it’s tick tock time for everybody on that team who’s playing the

Guard position because your minutes might be up for grabs especially if shake or miles McBride plays you out of it and Alec Burks right now miles and maybe Shake who knows what he’s going to do once he comes here if those two play out of your position you are going to

Ride that bench for a long time this is a warning a notice to Alec Burks step up or step aside because now we have other players who are able to do what you can do but much much better but what about you guys what do you think about the

Real reason the New York knck signed Shake Milton for the rest of the season let me know in the comments 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 and

The New York Knicks recently added Shake Milton to the roster, adding another serviceable guard to the rotation. But if you look at the Knicks roster, you can make the argument that another player who added more size should have been targeted. With the Knicks already having Miles McBride, Donte DiVincenzo, Jalen Brunson, & Alec Burks already on the roster, playing time could be limited for the veteran combo guard. However, a deeper dive into this report clearly reveals that the Knicks made this addition to send a message to the roster, especially the backup guards… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
