\n \u201cWorld Wide Wes\u201d is coming to New York.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are hiring William Wesley as executive vice president\/senior basketball adviser, the team announced Wednesday, adding another boost to Tom Thibodeau\u2019s head coaching candidacy.<\/p>\n

Wesley, a longtime friend of Knicks president Leon Rose and former consultant at CAA, is known for his connections with stars around the league. He also previously worked with Thibodeau, considered a frontrunner to become the Knicks\u2019 next head coach, while at CAA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to announce the hiring of William Wesley, someone that I have known for over 40 years and consider to be family,\u201d Rose said in a statement. \u201cHe is one of the most well-connected and respected ;people in the basketball community and he will be a tremendous asset and resource to both myself and the New York Knicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wesley was already working behind the scenes for the Knicks, The Post\u2019s Marc Berman reported. The Camden native is also close to John Calipari, who has said he is not interested in the Knicks job.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy long history with and respect for Jim Dolan and Leon Rose, as well as the chance to be part of the New York Knicks made this an opportunity I wanted to pursue,\u201d Wesley added in a statement. \u201cI look forward to joining the current staff and moving the organization forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose was a teenager when he met Wesley, who was then working at Pro Shoe in Cherry Hill. Rose needed a new pair of sneakers and Wesley took care of him that day, Rose\u2019s father Zev previously told The Post, and they have been friends ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a good team,\u201d Zev Rose said in February.<\/p>\n

The Knicks also announced they have hired Alex Kline and TJ Zanin \u2014 the brother of new assistant general<\/a> manager, pro scouting Frank Zanin \u2014 as scouts.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
