Timing is Everything for Kidd
Nets' new coach must balance minutes for older superstars
Jason Kidd knows a thing or two about limiting minutes for aging superstars.
He experienced it first-hand last season with the Knicks, logging a career-low 26:53 per night while registering just 6.0 points and 3.3 assists, which were also the lowest totals of his Hall of Fame-worthy 19-year NBA career.
Despite New York coach Mike Woodson’s careful use of the 40-year-old point guard, Kidd still didn’t have much left in the tank by the time the Knicks stood poised to make what they hoped would be a deep run in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
