I hope the internal support for atkinson is really strong inside the organization, I think the best coaching hire for the knicks is Atkinson with the eye on development of our youth. Give him atleast 2 full years to help influence the team's culture and see the results of the development. The key here is for the front office and the fans to show maximum patience(i know easier said than done) by the time we see improvements and the knicks can take the next step towards being contenders and get the superstar we covet(in 2 years time or so) if Atkinson really cant coach superstars then the front office should decide if they pivot to get a high profile coach or not. In a related topic, Im hoping to get Joe Harris as the teams new shooter and a player Atkinson help develop.
