No mentioning of frank in this article Dotson calls knox, robinson, trier, rj barret, rising stars?
Rehabbing Damyean Dotson, who finished the season as the Knicks’ starting shooting guard, believes the club will be fine even without a big free-agent splash.
If the Knicks sign Kevin Durant, he won’t be playing next season anyway because of his torn Achilles. Dotson, who underwent shoulder surgery in mid-May, made big strides in his second season despite playing with what turned out to be a torn labrum.
Dotson believes the young guys are only going to be better and RJ Barrett, their No. 3 pick, will be a boost.
“I’m a young guy still,’’ Dotson told The Post in phone interview Wednesday. “We have a full team of young guys. My teammates Allonzo (Trier), Kev (Kevin Knox) Mitchell (Robinson), RJ (Barrett), we’re rising stars. We can build together and one day become a great team if we work hard keep listening to coach (David Fizdale). All the guys played last year got experience.”
Next training camp, Dotson and Barrett could compete for the starting shooting guard slot.
“I watched him a couple of Duke games,’’ said Dotson, the Knicks’ second-round pick in 2017. “I like his game a lot. He’s explosive, athletic. He’s a good 1, 2 guard. Big strong guy. I think he’ll definitely help us become a better team.”
