With Sergio Rodriguez in town the Knicks have decided not to play 27-year old point guard Chris Duhon unless it’s an emergency. Duhon has not played in a game for the Knicks since February 20th as he has 10 DNPs in a row. Look for that DNP streak to continue to grow. Duhon has played in 54 games (42 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 32.8 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. Those numbers aren’t the frustrating ones to Knicks’ management but his 34.4% shooting from the floor is the reason that his butt is nailed to the bench.

23-year old point guard Sergio Rodriguez was more than a throw in for the Knicks as they see him maybe bumping Chris Duhon from the starting point guard job. Rodriguez played in 39 games (0 starts) for the Kings this season and he was averaging 13.3 minutes, 6.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He has now played in 258 games (14 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 12.5 minutes, 3.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Rodriguez even has a cool nickname “Spanish Chocolate” so he’s made for Broadway.

The Knicks wanted 30-year old SG/SF Tracy McGrady for his expiring contract but he will also get a chance to prove that he still has something left as a player. T-Mac has only played in 6 games (0 starts) this season and he is averaging 7.7 minutes, 3.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. McGrady has now played in 790 games (640 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 34.8 minutes, 21.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. If McGrady shows the Knicks that he still has some game left they might re-sign him this summer. If not they let him walk.

The fact that power forward Darko Milicic can’t get onto the floor for the New York Knicks speaks volumes about him as a player. He has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 8.9 minutes, 2.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. A lot of experts thought that Milicic would find himself in the wide open offensive attack of head coach Mike D’Antoni but it just hasn’t happened.

Finally the Knicks have come to their senses as Nate Robinson will be the new starting point guard starting tomorrow night. He has played in 27 games (0 starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 23.6 minutes, 12.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Robinson is shooing 46.7% from the floor this season and 36.9% from three point range. He is easily the best point guard on the Knicks’ roster so it’s great that they have finally decided to start him.
