It?s been a good year for Malik Rose as a Knick. Similarly to Jerome Williams, Rose provides the same amount of energy and hustle off the bench, however, he has the most experience out of anyone on the whole Knicks roster. His defense and intensity is what I love the most about him. His play is partly why I feel optimistic about the Knicks chances next year with a healthy roster.
