Nevertheless, no one should deny that Jack has elevated those around him. His leadership has made an impact and his high basketball IQ and general enthusiasm on the court has made his teammates better. He\u2019s a knowledgeable player who knows where and how to find guys in different spots on the court to help them catch hot and find offensive rhythms. He\u2019s the perfect player to start off contests, balance this team\u2019s youth, and mentor a promising Frank Ntilikina in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>The floor general has averaged 7.2 points and 5.9 assists for a Knickerbocker squad that initially exceeded expectations this season.<\/p>\n<p>Given all that Jack has contributed to the team this season, it may be easy to forget that the 34 year old has been playing on a non-guaranteed contract this whole time. He made the squad as a sixteenth man, an exception slot allocated by Joakim Noah\u2019s early season suspension.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that Jack has more than earned his place on the Knicks, and now the team is reportedly making things official. According to Michael Scotto, New York will fully guarantee Jack\u2019s contract for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New York Knicks will guarantee the contract of Jarrett Jack for the rest of the season, league sources told <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBallInsiders?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BBallInsiders<\/a>.
