"Last year, I couldn’t even tell you what position -- one, two, three. I’m just out there, trying to impress the coach. That was what it was, and I couldn’t really learn. This year I’m learning." https://twitter.com/JonKrawczynski/status/947938463407538176

“I have a coach who is trusting me, he knows how to use me."
“When you don’t play a lot and you get an opportunity, you need to stay ready and play good, but then the next game, when everybody’s healthy, you don’t play. That was really hard” https://twitter.com/JonKrawczynski/status/1073210455764525056?s=20

Gorgui Dieng:
"He was deeply unhappy with the lack of communication and approach from former coach Tom Thibodeau as his playing time dwindled."
"Saunders’ communication style has ensured that Dieng does not feel the disrespect he felt under Thibodeau." https://twitter.com/TheAthleticMIN/status/1192956214621159424?s=20

Tyus Jones:
"But his minutes fluctuated, his playing time sapped by the presence of Jamal Crawford (age 37) and midseason signee Derrick Rose."
"Teague, according to a source, went to Thibodeau during last season and suggested that Jones play more" https://twitter.com/SLAMonline/status/1007726661142548481?s=20

You can write off most of Thibs’ non-successes as, “most of those guys are still not great on not great teams” but it’s important to keep in mind the members of the Knicks are not quite good! 21 year old Derrick Rose is not walking through that door! 32 year old D-Rose, maybe
