Good to hear.

“If there are, he hasn’t implemented them yet,’’ Jack said regarding whether Hornacek has mentioned the triangle. “So far, it’s a lot of much more fast-paced offense, moving cutting, more ball movement. From what I understand, that’s the crux of it for now.’’

“[It’s] the transition from not playing in the triangle to this new offense he’s putting in, so all of that has been real fun, real enlightening, so I’m waiting for one of these Jerry Sloan training camps from what I understand,’’ Jack said.

The Knicks now have four point guards on the roster and Jack, coming off a series of knee problems, doesn’t appear a lock for the 15-man roster. Veteran Ramon Sessions was signed in late July to join Ntilikina and Ron Baker, re-signed to a lucrative deal for the room exception ($4 million).

Perry, Jack revealed, had contacted him in July when the executive was trying to recruit him to California. Perry kept in contact after being hired by the Knicks.

Already, Jack, a former Net, is impressed with the rookie Frenchman and his defensive potential at 6-foot-5, with a 7-foot wingspan.

“I’ve gotten a chance to work out with Frank for the past couple weeks and he’s a solid kid, man, really, really can play, really long arms, really active defensively,’’ Jack said. “Great size. Just looking forward to giving him all the game that I’ve gotten over these 13 years, and I think we’ve got a pretty solid stable of players at that position with a bunch of guys able to contribute when and if their number is called.”

If he’s more mentor than player, Jack, who has appeared in 34 games combined the past two seasons because of a torn ACL and torn meniscus, will be fine with it.

“For sure he has a lot of tools that you can’t teach but just the cerebral side of it, that’s where I come into play,’’ Jack said. “Just try to help him to some little tricks of the trade as the season goes along and just understanding what it means to be a starting point guard in this league.”

Jack's been very vocal since he signed last week.

I love it!

Hope he sticks around. Dude has a ton of basketball experience. Between playing in the national championship game in college,to playing in big moments in the playoff, and being good as a starter and a bench player he has a wealth of experience in the game of basketball and I love the way he is approaching joining our team and playing with Frank. Got to love when guys understand their place in the league and on their team.

[HarthorneWingo]

Well, it's clear to me now. Jarret Jack is the most important player on Knicks roster this season.

You people are treating him like The Messiah.

[HarthorneWingo]

Jarrett sees everything.

[BKlutch]

Part that stood out most to me is Jack has no illusions of grandeur. He knows what is expected of him at this stage of his career. To be a mentor. He is not trying to rail on the rookie. Steal mins. Or go out there with something to prove. Very encouraging.

Please say this to Melo the next time you see him, just in case the rumors of a trade to Houston by 5:45 Monday turn out to be less than real.

[HarthorneWingo]

Like if the trade happened next week, Melo wouldn't accept it? LOL

[EchelonNYK]

I like how the media and players make the triangle offense seem like a strenuous task. It's basically built around sharing the ball. Hard, right?

It was hard for the Knicks last year.

[RiseOfTheEmpire]

Thank god for this guy, because that other Walking Bucket guy is already giving me a headache. "Favorite player's favorite player....5th seed....we have 4 guys who can score 25 points per game, Noah has 25 abs"........

BKlutch, we discussed this before remember, about how we have some guys that would work in Jeff's offense,only if we were to go away from the triangle, and were wondering what's gonna happen this year.......this is music to my ears.

They hate it because it is not full of screens.
