In a VERY balanced article that talks about Phil's mistakes they also breakdown his hidden success which is yet to fully manifest itself:
The rookies were a different story. Jackson famously preferred Jahlil Okafor to Porzingis, but should be credited for taking a talented but risky prospect. The same goes for trading second-round pick swaps for Willy Hernangomez, a viable center of the future, provided we live long enough to see a future without Joakim Noah on the books, and signing Mindaugas Kuzminskas. And last week’s draft selection, 18-year-old Frank Ntilikina, is a risky, home-run type pick at a draft position in which Jackson could have taken safer players with lower ceilings. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/at-least-phil-jackson-didnt-leave-the-knicks-in-ruins/ |
