DiVincenzo is a very Tom Thibodeau player, a catch-and-shoot specialist who can hit the 3 (39.7% last season in Golden State), knows when to move the ball, and is an aggressive defender on the perimeter. Next to Hart and Brunson, DiVincenzo will fit well in the Knicks’ backcourt.
Is it an upgrade to lose Obi Toppin and get DiVincenzo? Debate that amongst yourselves. However, the Knicks like their roster that finished fifth in the East last season and advanced to the second round of the playoffs, and they are running it back and not getting heavily involved in the Damian Lillard or James Harden sweepstakes. DiVincenzo will fit right in.
