Player Notes

Shumpert played 45 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 6.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 three-pointers and 1.0 steal a game. He played all 12 playoff games as well and averaged 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.1 steals a game.
Recommendation: Shumpert suffered a torn ACL during the playoffs last year and wasn't himself even when he did return this season. He is under contract with the Knicks next season and they also have a team option on Shumpert for the 2014-15 season. Shumpert could improve his fantasy value next season given a full summer to heal and strengthen his knee.

Thompson finished up the regular season averaging 16.6 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting (40.1 percent from 3-point distance) in 82 games. During the postseason, Thompson averaged 15.2 points on 43.7 percent shooting from the field and 42.4 percent from 3-point range.
Recommendation: Thompson's sophomore NBA season was a drop off from the promise hinted at during his rookie campaign. There were often nights when Thompson's shot was not falling, and he labored under 40 percent shooting for the first two months of the season. After scoring a pivotal 34 points in a Game 2 win over the Spurs, Thompson followed up the final four games of the series with 10.3 points per game on 34 percent shooting. That illustrates Thompson's season overall. Very spotty and inconsistent. He remains a threat from 3-point range on any given night, but he may lose some shots next season to the developing Harrison Barnes.

Prigioni played 78 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 3.5 points, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 three-pointers while playing 16 minutes a game. He saw his playing time increase slightly in the playoffs to almost 21 minutes a game and averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 three-pointers a game.
Recommendation: Prigioni finds himself on the open market after his rookie campaign with the Knicks. While he is a solid defensive player and provides lots of energy, he isn't likely to be a major fantasy contributor no matter where he signs.

Wade was a full participant during Sunday's practice, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Recommendation: Sunday's practice was of the light variety, but nonetheless, Wade said he is good to go. He played 37 minutes in Wednesday's Game 5, so the knee appears to be holding up. Continue to start him as you normally would.

Felton played 68 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 13.9 points, 5.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.4 steals a game. He also averaged 14.1 points, 4.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.8 three-pointers a game during the playoffs.
Recommendation: Felton played very well for the Knicks this season and was consistent throughout the season. He will enter next season as the starting point guard again and should again be a very solid fantasy option.

White played 57 games during the regular season for the Knicks, but only averaged just under nine minutes a game to go along with 2.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists a game. He also played in only four games during the Knicks' playoff run.
Recommendation: White was nothing more than a role player for the Knicks this season and is likely going to see similar playing time next season, leaving him with limited fantasy value.

Smith said he wants to retire as a Knick, ESPN New York reports.
Recommendation: Smith has a $2.9 million player option for next season, but he is likely to opt out and become a free agent. He had an excellent season and won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award as he averaged 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.3 steals a game. Before the playoffs started, it was largely assumed that Smith was going to cash in big due to his excellent regular season, but he shot only 33.1 percent in the playoffs and may have lost some money as a result. Although he wants to remain a Knick, they may offer him less than they would have before his playoff slump. Regardless of where he lands, he will likely be an excellent scoring option off the bench or as a member of a starting five.

Leonard (knee) had 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt) to go with two boards, one assist, two steals and one block in 30 minutes Sunday in the Spurs' Game 1 waxing of the Grizzlies.
Recommendation: Leonard is impressively playing through a knee injury right now, and we would expect him to continue to do so as this series progresses.

Kidd played 76 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 6.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 three-pointers a game. Kidd really struggled in the playoffs as he failed to score a single point over the last 10 games.
Recommendation: The Knicks signed Kidd to provide a veteran presence at the point and leadership in the playoffs, but he struggled to produce during the regular season and really hurt them in the playoffs. The Knicks still have him signed for two more seasons, but it's possible that Kidd may think twice about playing again next season due to his playoff struggles. If he does play again next season, he will likely only have limited fantasy value again.

Richardson played in only one regular season game and five playoff games for the Knicks this season. He will be a free agent this offseason.
Recommendation: Richardson is in the twilight of his career and likely won't warrant fantasy consideration next season should he play again.

Pondexter had a team-high 17 points and was 5-for-9 from three-point range in Sunday's Game 1 blowout loss against the Spurs.
Recommendation: He is the best three-point option on the Grizzlies, and was called upon to hoist with regularity to try to get the team back into Sunday's lopsided defeat. The situation called for a lot of minutes and shots for Pondexter, but we wouldn't expect him to lead Memphis in scoring in future games in this series.
