The New York Knicks are looking to add another scorer to further their push to the playoffs, as they’re linked to Norman Powell, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.
“He’s the perfect Tom Thibodeau player,” one team official said about Powell.
Powell is averaging a career-high 19.6 points per game on an efficient 49.6 shooting percentage. The Knicks are towards the bottom of the league in points per game as a team, so perhaps they could use a scorer like Powell.
