One of the reasons the Knicks brought Kurt Rambis into town last season was to mentor first-year head coach Derek Fisher. New York wanted someone with head-coaching experience to share the bench with Fish, and Rambis' history with Phil Jackson obviously played a role. 

Now, the second-year Knicks assistant has a new assignment, according to ESPN's Ian Begley:

The Knicks selected Porzingis fourth in this past June's draft. Rambis was an important piece on the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s as a physical big who could start or come off the bench.
