Last Friday, the Knicks inked veteran point guard, Ramon Sessions, to a one-year, minimum deal. Given his veteran presence and selfless mentality, chances are the 31-year-old, Sessions, will get the starting nod at point on opening night. Before Sessions’ signing, the Knicks were looking at rookie Frank Ntilikina and even second-year guard Ron Baker, as potential options to start at point. Despite him now being out of the starting equation, the Knicks would still be wise to avoid utilizing Baker as a point guard in 2017.
The Knicks signed Baker as an undrafted free agent last year after he spent four years at Wichita State — where he played the off guard.
