The Knicks took a risk in free agency by signing Jordan Clarkson, hoping he would adapt his playstyle from a high-usage scorer to a contributing team player, but faced mixed results. This offseason, they may explore options for a guard or wing, including Bradley Beal and DeMar DeRozan, both looking for new roles late in their careers. Beal, recovering from injury, has improved as a shooter but has defensive concerns, while DeRozan remains a high-usage scorer. Both players’ willingness to embrace team roles will be crucial for any potential fit with the Knicks.
