Knicks: The Return of Mr. Bill?
Can Larry Demic and Sly Williams be far behind? Apparently, Bill Cartwright has interviewed with Phil Jackson and is believed to be Steve Kerr's top choice for first lieutenant. Cartwright out of USF was the Knicks pick in the Magic draft of 1979. He was a great rookie scorer, though not a great rebounder or defender. He was part of that duplicative Twin Towers era when it was Cartwright and Webster then Cartwright and Ewing and then Cartwright was traded for Oakley and the Knicks started playing sluggo ball. Deadly turn around jumper from the low post. I was at a game, during his rookie year, when he put up 38 or 40 against the Suns at MSG. Always a team guy, even back then, his interviews were about the team. We'll see if this works out.
