Copeland is getting major floor time and is contributing key minutes for the Knicks. He’s earned his first starts and filled in admirably for Carmelo Anthony when called upon. “Optimus Cope” went from the last player to make the roster to a key bench contributor, all in just a couple weeks. His role and attitude perfectly sum up what’s made this Knicks season special thus far. – Brian Faith
