3 cheap free agent point guard options Knicks could pursue

1. Goran Dragic

Goran Dragic wouldn’t have to move too far if he was to come and join the Knicks. The 36-year-old started last season in Toronto but ended up joining the Brooklyn Nets where he appeared in 16 regular-season games.

Dragic isn’t too far removed from being a driving force for a Miami Heat team that made the NBA Finals a couple of years ago.

Anyone who watched that amazing playoff run saw just how impactful and clutch Dragic can be. He’s very much a player who makes “winning plays” on offense. That experience and sure-handedness is something that could really benefit New York.

Even though Dragic isn’t very far removed from being a starting point guard on a Finals team, it does feel like Father Time has started to catch up with him. Dragic has dealt with a lot of injuries in the last two years. He’s only appeared in 37 games over the last two seasons — not ideal.

Dragic isn’t exactly known as a defensive stalwart either, especially at his age. With that being said, in a smaller role, Dragic could prove to be a smart addition for the Knicks. He’s someone who has always seemed to have a knack for choosing his spots wisely. To Walt Clyde Frazier’s delight, he’s someone who loves to keep his dribble and keep plays alive.

Bringing on someone like Dragic could be terrific for the development of some of New York’s younger perimeter players. Someone like Quickley, who struggles to get into the paint, could pick up on some of the crafty techniques utilized by Dragic, a player who, like Quickley, isn’t the most explosive vertical athlete.
