Knicks went to the second round with Truck 2 straight years after his acquisition. We added 11 wins - then 3 more in his 2 full years
Well, the big addition and the reason we won 11 more was a 26 year old Bernard King. 2nd most important might have been Hubie coming on board to coach.
And I think part of the problem was Truck wasn't a great fit next to Bernard or in Hubie's schemes. I seem to recall Truck not seeming in sync and his game not meshing with NYK. Somewhat like Webster, Truck was a monster in the West (who nobody in the East saw in those days), then came to NY and underperformed before getting injured.

Another weird Knick era was when we kept cycling through PG's.
First we had Michael Ray & Ray Williams, then we didn't.
Then Hubie had a whole corps of okay G's.
Then a few years later we blew through Jax, Strickland, Cheeks, DoC Rivers, Greg Anthony.
That'd be early Pat Ewing days.
Just seemed whenever we had a viable quality starting PG, we ditched him quickly for another candidate. Finally settling on Chollie "Good Effort" Ward.
