New York Knicks: 2019 free agency primer

3. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has battled injury throughout his four-year career, but he would be a solid addition to the Knicks bench unit.

This season he averaged 8.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, on 41.1 FG%, 64% FT, and 20.9 minutes played in 59 appearances.

RHJ saw his scoring decline from the previous season due to the Brooklyn Nets focusing on developing their additional young talent this season, injury, and a reduced role upon his return. Areas, where he must improve upon by next season, are his ability to shoot beyond the arc consistently, become a more reliable free-throw shooter, and his defense (he has a lot of potential to defend top players in the NBA).

At only 24-years-old, RHJ has many years ahead of him and the Knicks can use versatility at the forward position off the bench this year.

2. Nikola Vučević

While it may go against developing Mitchell Robinson by making him the official starting center moving forward, we must remember he is only 21-years-old. Therefore signing one of the best and underrated centers in the league in Nikola Vučević is not a poor direction to choose.

In his first season selected as an All-Star, Vučević averaged career-highs 20.8 points, 12 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1 steal, on 51.8 FG%, 36.4 3P%, 78.9 FT%, in 31.4 minutes a game in 80 appearances this season with the Orlando Magic.

At 28-years-old, Vučević has steadily improved his overall game and maintained consistent scoring averages above thirteen for his last seven seasons in Orlando. He led his team in points, rebounding, steals, and field goal percentage this year, rightfully earning his first All-Star selection. Although his asking price may be steep, he would be worth it due to his repertoire in the low-post, beyond the three-point line, and his efficient rebounding.
