The New York Knicks have a unique problem: they cannot find a point guard.
Whether it's through the draft, free agency, or trades, the Knicks have not been able to find an answer at the NBA's most stacked position. While teams like the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, or Toronto Raptors have found the guy at point guard for years, the Knicks are still searching.
As the Knicks prepare to kick off the 2020-21 season with yet another lackluster rotation at guard, here is where all of the guards who have started for the Knicks since 2010 are today.
Raymond Felton had two stints at the Knicks' starting point guard, in 2010-11 and 2012-14. He helped oversee the team's best season in two decades in '12-13.
Felton is currently a free agent and still hoping to play in the NBA. He last played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2018-19.
Chauncey Billups came to the Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony trade in 2011. He started in 21 games for the Knicks and was bought out the following offseason.
Billups last played in 2014. He has since worked as an ESPN analyst and joined the LA Clippers this offseason as an assistant coach.
Toney Douglas started 30 for the Knicks between 2009-2012, averaging 8 points per game. He was traded in the summer of 2012.
Douglas went on to play for six teams in five seasons, his last season in the NBA coming in 2016. He played professionally in Turkey and Spain as recently as February 2020.
Jeremy Lin had a breakout as the Knicks point guard in 2012 and momentarily looked like the team's savior. However, the team opted not to match his 3-year, $25 million contract the next summer in free agency.
Lin bounced around the NBA, playing for six teams in seven years from 2012-2019. He played in China last season and is hoping to return to the NBA.
Baron Davis started 14 games for the Knicks in 2011-12, his 13th season. His season ended with a knee injury in the playoffs.
Davis has not played since that season. He has since worked as an analyst and is also involved in entertainment and business.
33-year-old Mike Bibby started four games for the Knicks in 2011-12, his last season in the NBA.
Bibby has since played in the Big 3, coached high school basketball, and appears to still be involved in training NBA prospects.
40-year-old Jason Kidd played a key role in the Knicks' 54-win season in 2012-13.
Kidd retired after that season. He has since coached the Nets and Bucks and is now an assistant coach with the Lakers.
Pablo Prigioni was 35 years old when he came from Spain to play for the Knicks. He spent three seasons in New York.
Prigioni played until 2016. He is now an assistant coach with the Timberwolves.

Shved now plays professionally in Russia.
Langston Galloway became a surprising contributor for the Knicks from 2014-2016 after going undrafted.
Galloway has since played for the Pelicans, Kings, and Pistons. He signed with the Phoenix Suns this season.

Grant is now on the Rockets after playing for the Bulls, Magic, and Wizards.
The Knicks traded for Derrick Rose in 2016. After a strong start to the season, the Knicks eventually let him walk in free agency.
