The New York Knicks aren’t playing their rookies much this year

The Knicks aren’t playing their rookies that much this season and I believe it’s because they have an eye on making the playoffs this season in the very weak Eastern Conference and that’s a good thing. Back-up shooting guard Toney Douglas is the one rookie the Knicks have who should probably be playing more right now. He has played in 25 games (2 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 13.0 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this year. Power forward Jordan Hill has played well when he has gotten the chance to play which hasn’t been too often. Hill has played in 11 games (0 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 8.4 minutes, 3.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game on 52.8% shooting from the floor. Back-up small forward Marcus Landry is buried on the depth chart right now. He has played in 10 games (0 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 6.4 minutes, 2.8 points and 1.0 rebound per game. I can’t see the Knicks playing any of these guys much more unless they suffer injuries, go on a long losing streak or make some trades to open up playing time for them.
