3. Reggie Bullock

Veteran swingman Reggie Bullock had one of the best seasons of his career this past year. He played in 65 games and started a career-high 64 of them, averaging 10.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 30 minutes per game. Importantly, Bullock improved his perimeter shooting to a substantial degree, hitting 41 percent of his 6.1 3-point attempts per game.

Bullock struggled with his shot somewhat in the playoffs, but to a far lesser degree than, say, Julius Randle. Given his reliability throughout the regular season, we’d expect he’s earned himself a raise. New York will no doubt pursue some marquee free agents this summer, but we think Bullock should be given the chance to continue on as part of the Knicks’ core group moving forward.

Verdict: Re-sign
