Su Wan led the charge in expressing excitement about Carter's arrival.
Stephen Curry was over the moon, facing the camera he said, "It feels like I'm dreaming, this has been my dream since I was a kid, and I never thought it would come true! I can't wait to play alongside Uncle Carter!"
That day came quickly, on February 3rd, Carter passed the team's physical examination and was given playing time.
In his first game, he played a total of 21 minutes and 23 seconds, and he performed quite well, making 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 three-point shots, and 2 of 2 free throws, racking up 15 points for the game.
Bench scoring had always been a weak spot for the New York Knicks.
Before Vince Carter's arrival, the highest bench scorer for the New York Knicks averaged only 8.4 points per game, that being Paul George.
Now, suddenly, there was a bench player stepping up to score in the double digits, and even Su Wan felt a bit uncomfortable with the transition.
