LAS VEGAS — A year ago, Knicks young guard Ron Baker sat atop the world, signing a shocking new two-year, $9 million contract with the coveted room exception.

LAS VEGAS — In Saturday’s summer-league opener versus the Hawks, the new Frank Ntilikina looked much like the Frank Ntilikina of old. A demon on defense. A five-point, three-turnover dud on offense. That changed Sunday versus the Jazz in the Knicks’ 90-85 loss. In the opening two minutes, Ntilikina scored on two driving layups, then...

LAS VEGAS — The Kevin/Mitchell Show continued in full force as the Knicks’ two 2018 draft picks did their thing for a second straight summer league game despite a down-to-the-wire 90-85 loss to the Jazz.

LAS VEGAS — At this stage, Knicks coach David Fizdale is not ready to take issue with any of his young charges. After point guard Frank Ntilikina’s mixed summer-league debut Saturday, Fizdale wouldn’t nitpick about the 19-year-old point guard’s offensive production looking very similar to last season’s. In Saturday’s opening win over Atlanta, Ntilikina hounded...

LAS VEGAS — The Knicks were so worried rookie Mitchell Robinson wasn’t going to drop to No. 36 in the second round that they mulled trading up a few notches to ensure they’d be able to nab him, according to an NBA source.

LAS VEGAS — Knicks rookie Mitchell Robinson shook his head emphatically just as he was shaking off all the rust from a 14-month layoff.

LAS VEGAS — Kevin Knox’s 8-for-20 shooting line doesn’t tell the whole tale of a summer-league debut filled with rocking rims and an ocean of promise for the Knicks’ 2018 lottery pick.

LAS VEGAS — Juwan Howard Jr. hasn’t taken the same Fab Five route through Michigan to the NBA that his father traveled.

His future isn’t riding on a jump shot. He isn’t the ticket to get his family out of a difficult living situation. He can get into a premier college without a scholarship. Perhaps that’s what makes Cole Anthony’s rise to the top of the prep basketball world all the more impressive. He has reached this...

LAS VEGAS — We were all jerks in our youth. That was the message from new Knicks coach David Fizdale in predicting newly signed forward Mario Hezonja has turned over a new leaf as the 23-year-old Croatian put forth a strong finish to last season.

Carmelo Anthony didn’t like his reduced role and the Thunder weren’t keen on paying him big money to fail at it. A parting of the ways always seemed inevitable, and now it appears close to happening.
