Bojan Bogdanovic, Alec Burks not a lock to be in Knicks’ playoff rotation
NY Post
CHICAGO — Creeping up on the two-month anniversary of the Knicks’ deadline deal with the Pistons, Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks continue to ride the struggle bus, and it leaves questions about their future in the potential playoff rotation.
Burks, 32, already has had his role greatly diminished after returning from a shoulder sprain, averaging just eight minutes in the past four games.
He became the 10th man in the rotation Friday with the return of OG Anunoby, and coach Tom Thibodeau isn’t going to give 10 players legitimate minutes in the postseason.
Last year, for instance, Thibodeau’s rotation was mostly cut to eight.
Burks, a shoot-first offensive player, has a field-goal percentage of just 30.8 percent with the Knicks this season.
Since the trade on Feb. 8, he’s the NBA’s least efficient among players with at least 100 shot attempts. No. 2 is Detroit rookie Marcus Sasser, who is shooting 31.8 percent.
