Why Pablo Prigioni needs to play major minutes for Knicks

Mike Woodson is still figuring out his rotation for the 2013-14 season, but one thing's for sure—Pablo Prigioni needs to be playing a major role.

The Knicks have plenty of options at guard and Prigioni stands out, not necessarily as the best player, but as the one who has the biggest impact on his team's success.

Dating back to last season, the Knicks are 17-4 in regular season games in which Prigioni has played over 20 minutes. Unsurprisingly, the only game New York has won this season—the opener against the Milwaukee Bucks—was the only game in which Prigioni eclipsed the 20-minute mark.
