Player Notes

Shumpert intends to play in the Las Vegas Summer League, the New York Times reports.
Recommendation: Shumpert wants to continue working on his game, with the preparation for Las Vegas and the tournament itself providing a great offseason opportunity for contact with the coaching staff. The games will act as the second-year pro's first sniff of summer league, as he was unable to participate heading into his first two seasons due to 2011's lockout and knee surgery in May of 2012.

Pendergraph missed Monday's practice due to the birth of his daughter, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Recommendation: Pendergraph's daughter was born Sunday, so he should not be forced to miss Wednesday's Game 1 against the Heat. However, he has not been a factor for the Pacers, as he played under eight total minutes in Round 2 against the Knicks.

Barnes passed the league's concussion tests, the Mercury News reports.
Recommendation: Barnes was held out of the entire fourth quarter of Game 6 against the Spurs due to the concussion. Having now passed concussion tests, this should not be an issue for Barnes going forward, especially with the Warriors out of the playoffs.

Green played in 79 games in his rookie season of 2012-13, averaging 2.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game. His playing time increased in the postseason to 18.6 minutes per game as he was part of the mix to replace an injured David Lee.
Recommendation: Green was a drain offensively for much of the season, shooting 32.7 percent from the field and 20.9 percent from 3-point range. Those numbers got better in the postseason, but Green's game isn't about scoring. He's a heady player capable of playing three positions and played some center during the playoffs. His versatility and IQ are valued, but he doesn't figure to be a significant scoring threat.

Novak played 81 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers a game. He played nine games during the playoffs and averaged only 2.0 points and 0.4 three-pointers a game.
Recommendation: Novak regressed this season after averaging 8.8 points and 2.5 three-pointers a game last season. He can provide fantasy owners with solid production from the behind the arc, but isn't likely to contribute much more than that again next season.

Copeland played 56 games during the regular season and averaged 8.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers a game. He saw his playing time decrease in the playoffs until the final two games of the series against the Indiana Pacers. He averaged only 4.1 points, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 rebound during the playoffs overall.
Recommendation: Copeland is a restricted free agent, and it's unclear if he will return as a member of the Knicks. He is an excellent shooter from behind the arc for his size and provides lots of energy on the defensive end. He may find himself a fairly desirable commodity this offseason and could really increase his fantasy value if he can land with a team who will give him extended minutes.

Barron played in 12 regular season games, only one of which was for the Knicks. He did not appear in any games during the Knicks' playoff run.
Recommendation: Barron has played for six teams since the start of the 2010-11 season and isn't much more than a player who provides depth on the bench. Regardless of where he plays next season, he isn't likely to warrant fantasy consideration.

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.

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.

Ezeli appeared in 78 games (41 starts) during the 2012-14 season, averaging 2.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 14.4 minutes per game. He also played in every playoff game.
Recommendation: Andrew Bogut's recovery from ankle surgery was delayed well into the regular season, opening up some minutes in the frontcourt for Ezeli during his rookie season. He was largely a defensive presence with good shot blocking skills (2.4 per 36 minutes). If the Warriors get a full season of health from Bogut, there will be a decrease in Ezeli's playing time in 2013-14.

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.

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.

Stoudemire said he wants to talk with coach Mike Woodson and the rest of the coaching staff about his role next season, ESPN New York reports.
Recommendation: Stoudemire had another injury-filled campaign and played only 29 games in the regular season as a result, many of which he came off the bench. He averaged 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks a game, all of which were either his career-low or very close to it. Although he returned in the second round of the playoffs, he played only limited minutes off the bench. Stoudemire's fantasy value has really decreased over the last couple of seasons, and it could continue to plummet if he can't post a healthy 2013-14 campaign.
