“And Tyson Chandler feels that the additions of point guards Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd will do wonders for the Knicks’ two superstars.

“Absolutely, I absolutely think it will work,” the Knicks center said on Friday at practice in Greenburgh. “The toughest thing last year was that our best players were at the three, four and five spots with nobody to get them the ball in the right places.

“Melo went to playing the point and making a lot of the decisions. Although he’s capable, I feel like it was putting too much on him. This year with the point guards we’ve got he can play his natural position and be a finisher. And Amar’e can do the same.”

Chandler stressed that he wasn’t knocking Lin or backup point guard Baron Davis, who was injured for much of last season. Lin was in his second year and was more of a scoring point guard. Lin was more compatible with Stoudemire because the two could run pick-and-rolls. Lin wasn’t as effective with Anthony, who prefers to hold the ball on the perimeter and create his own shots.

“Jeremy was a young point guard who was just learning,” Chandler said. “He was trying to figure out how to run an offense. He brought a lot to this organization but as far as being able to run the offense and put players in the right positions he wasn’t there yet. We have veteran point guards now who are capable of doing that.”
