“#Damyean Dotson wasn\u2019t surprised by Knicks breakup<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Damyean Dotson will be on the familiar Garden floor Wednesday night but in wine and gold for the first time.<\/p>\n

Leon Rose allowed Dotson, an improving \u201c3-and-D\u2019\u2019 shooting guard who was the Knicks\u2019 second-round pick in 2017, to leave via free agency and he joined the Cavaliers on a two-year, $4 million deal.<\/p>\n

Dotson, 26, has looked good so far, averaging 10.5 points in 24 minutes in Cleveland\u2019s first two preseason game<\/a>s, even starting Monday. The Knicks will miss Dotson\u2019s 3-point shooting. The Houston native was a 36.2 percent 3-point shooter in 165 games with the Knicks.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurprised?\u2019\u2019 Dotson said on Zoom of the Knicks not making an offer. \u201cI know it\u2019s a whole new staff, management, coaches. The guys that drafted me, Phil Jackson, has been gone three years now. It\u2019s a new wave. It wasn\u2019t surprising.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Dotson said the Cavaliers were high on his list as his former Knicks head coach, David Fizdale, always raved about J.B. Bickerstaff, who now runs the Cleveland bench.<\/p>\n

Asked what intrigued him about Dotson, Bickerstaff said, \u201cWe needed scoring for that position. A guy that can be versatile and a guy who can get a bucket. That\u2019s what Damyean can do. He plays with a toughness and grit and has the character we\u2019re looking for organizationally to build this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson was fired three days after Dotson was drafted in 2017, and Dotson never found a permanent footing in the Knicks\u2019 rotation. Last season, Dotson and Frank Ntilikina were the most-tenured Knicks. Dotson admitted he likes being around some players with winning pedigree for a change after never seeing the playoffs in his three Knicks\u2019 seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to playing with the veteran guys like KLove [Kevin Love], [Andre] Drummond, [Larry] Nance [Jr.], [Matthew] Dellavedova,\u2019\u2019 Dotson said. \u201cA lot of those guys got experience in winning and been far in their career.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
