As good as the New York Knicks look on paper, the major concern about their chemistry still lingers and will continue to do so until they get a good number of games under their belt.

The players are not expected to get together till training camp, but two of them are not waiting on anything to begin learning how to play with each other.

New York’s projected starting backcourt in Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee have already began putting in some work together, as seen in this Instagram video from the latter.

Rose was acquired via trade while Lee was a free agent signing. If these two could start playing in rhythm together quick, the result could easily trickle down to the rest of their teammates.

The Knicks are certainly one of the most interesting teams to watch out for this season.
