\n You ask, we answer. The Post is fielding questions from readers about New York\u2019s biggest pro sports teams and getting our beat writers to answer them in a series<\/a> of regularly published mailbags. In today\u2019s installment: the Knicks. <\/em><\/p>\n

What is your view of [Mike] Woodson as a coach? My personal opinion is that he is very overrated. During his stint as a Knicks coach, he was relying a lot on [Jason] Kidd and [Rasheed] Wallace in end-game<\/a> situations. What do you think? \u2014 Jean <\/strong><\/p>\n

Woodson did his best work with the Knicks (109-79). His performance wasn\u2019t overrated in the least.<\/p>\n

Before going 54-28 and reaching the second round of the playoffs in 2012-13, Woodson took over midstream for Mike D\u2019Antoni, who couldn\u2019t find a way to connect with Carmelo Anthony. Woodson reached Anthony more than any head coach ever has and the Knicks romped to an 18-6 finish in 2011-12.<\/p>\n

Knicks president Leon Rose saw it firsthand as his agent \u2014 a clue to why he got this interview and perhaps will join the coaching staff. Woodson\u2019s departure was only because new president Phil Jackson had to bring in his own staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got the most out of Carmelo and Amar\u2019e [Stoudemire] by holding them accountable,\u2019\u2019 said one individual who has worked alongside Woodson.<\/p>\n

The Post reported last month David Fizdale wanted Woodson on his staff, but the front office thought he was too high profile with Knicks fans to be his assistant.<\/p>\n

After four seasons with the Clippers, Doc Rivers surprisingly didn\u2019t bring him back for the 2018-19 campaign but one source felt Rivers\u2019 staff was in need of a shake-up.<\/p>\n

Woodson has told friends he desperately wants back in New York in any role and could even reunite with Anthony.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s already established the Knicks shouldn\u2019t draft Cole Anthony if they want a \u201creal\u201d point guard. Is it possible he has it in his DNA to become a poor man\u2019s Damian Lillard or an equivalent [of] Lou Williams? \u2014 Cee Fitz <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, Sports Illustrated weaved a long takeout on Anthony that harped on emotional quirks growing up. His ultracompetitiveness on the court led to, as one of his youth league coaches said, \u201cThe Cole Tantrum.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

I hear the Cole camp was less than thrilled with the feature. Leon Rose said a lot of players in this draft are viewed by scouts with widely varying opinions. Anthony falls into that category.<\/p>\n

Some scouts think he\u2019s a natural-born scorer who fits into an era where the point guard needs to score more. Anthony\u2019s supporters also believe having a former NBA veteran as a father (Greg Anthony) will prove a huge bonus.<\/p>\n

But UNC finished 14\u201319, tied for last in the ACC. Anthony committed six turnovers in his finale \u2014 an 81\u201353 loss to Syracuse. It\u2019s very much a risk-reward pick. If the Knicks fall back to the 7-to-10 range after the lottery on Aug. 25, it\u2019s probably a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

Should the Knicks try to give a max contract to a new rising superstar, such as Brandon Ingram? With him, [RJ] Barrett and [Mitchell] Robinson, do you think the Knicks could be exciting right away? \u2014 Henrique <\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer to the question is yes. They should offer a 22-year-old All-Star forward who averaged career highs in the major categories a max deal.<\/p>\n

Submit your Knicks questions to be answered in an upcoming mailbag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t Julius Randle leaving New Orleans for New York. Unfortunately, Ingram is a restricted free agent and the Pelicans can \u2014 and will \u2014 match the offer. GM David Griffin is building something special on Bourbon Street around Zion Williamson and the two have shown chemistry. Fingers crossed Williamson returns for the restart.<\/p>\n

In your previous mailbag you said Damyean Dotson is as good as gone because he doesn\u2019t have an attachment to [Leon] Rose or [GM Scott] Perry. Is the same said for Frank Ntilikina? \u2014 Akiva <\/strong><\/p>\n

Au contraire. Rose was Ntilikina\u2019s first agent. While they parted ways after his second season amid bruised feelings, the sense is Rose wants to turn the Frenchman into a valuable piece. Rose said of Ntilikina on MSG Network that, \u201cGiven the right circumstances, I think [he] can really prosper.\u2019\u2019 Rose was likely referring to a steady role and structured offense. If Tom Thibodeau is hired as coach, he tends to favor defensive-first ballplayers such as the 6-foot-4 point guard.<\/p>\n

Why hasn\u2019t the name Byron Scott been brought to the table? He is in my estimation a viable candidate. \u2014 Michael Whittaker <\/strong><\/p>\n

When he led the Nets to two Finals, there were rumblings assistant Eddie Jordan was the Xs and Os mastermind. When Scott was fired, conflicting reports existed on Jason Kidd greasing the skids. Scott last coached the Lakers during their down period from 2014 to 2016. His 38\u2013126 (.232) record is the worst of any of the 16 Lakers coaches with two seasons. One source says Scott wasn\u2019t the hardest worker nor a fan of film study.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
