26. Jeff Hornacek, New York Knicks

The general consensus on Jeff Hornacek is definitely all over the place. Depending on who you ask, you’ll get a different opinion when it comes to Hornacek. Although, there are a couple things that we do know about the former Phoenix Suns head coach.

For one, he’s creative on the offensive end. That’s not something you question. He’s going to play at an uptempo pace and will probably produce at a high rate. Defensively, while his teams in the past have left a lot to be desired, it usually comes down to effort.

And that’s a real question for any Hornacek-led team.

In the end, Hornacek should probably be a lot higher on this list. But, because of the way he was forced out of Phoenix, I’d honestly play the wait and see game with Hornacek.

As should you.
