Notes from Day 1 of Knicks Summer League practice

While we await the coming free agency apocalypse, let's not forget that there's actual Knicks basketball to be played soon ... not NBA basketball, but basketball nonetheless. To the Summer League practice photo gallery!

I wish 2014 second-round pick Louis Labeyrie were an NBA-caliber, because he looks cool as shit:

Jeff Hornacek had some kind words for recently-added undrafted free agent shooting guard Ron Baker:

Hornacek on undrafted Wichita State SG Ron Baker: "He can really shoot the ball. All the traits you’re looking for in a player."

Hornacek won't be coaching the team because he'll be jetting around the world for free agent meetings (Does anybody have Alexey Shved's last known address?). Horny talks FREE AGENCY MADNESS in this video:

Westchester Knicks coach Mike Miller has been tapped to replace Hornacek. Miller ran the Triangle last year -- very well! -- so expect plenty of that.

Finally, we leave you with Ian Begley's Kristaps Porzingis practice mixtape to wet your whistle. Go Knicks ... Summer or otherwise!
