Kevin Durant once called the NBA “a wing’s league.” It certainly feels that way, with so many of the sport’s best players manning that position.
It’s hard to win without difference-makers on the wing, particularly in the Eastern Conference, which features the likes of Celtics duo Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler of the Heat and Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton of the Bucks.
It is why, as the Knicks inch closer to training camp coming off their best season in a decade, the wing spot is the biggest question surrounding the team.
More than how Jalen Brunson follows up his breakout season as one of the top lead guards in the game. More than whether Julius Randle can put together consecutive strong seasons. More than how newcomer Donte DiVincenzo fits in.
