Former Knicks great Walt Frazier will ask Isiah Thomas if he can work with rookie guard Mardy Collins this offseason, The Post has learned.
Frazier said he wants the chance to work with Collins for a few days this spring because he sees himself in the 6-foot-6 rookie - a tall, tough-defending guard with deceptive quickness and a cool demeanor, but sans a jump shot. Frazier, now a Knicks broadcaster, developed a perimeter game after a few seasons.
"I'm going to ask Isiah because there's a few things I can show him," Frazier told The Post on Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C. "Once you get in the paint, control your body. Things very simple that he's not thinking about."

The Knicks are out of the playoffs and in the lottery, but Isiah Thomas said he believes the Knicks are the best 33-49 team ever assembled.
The club won their season finale in Charlotte, but Thomas was angry the season concluded.
"I was ticked off," Thomas admitted. "I wish we were still playing, still continuing. I didn't feel elated at all walking off the court. As a matter of fact, I was a little angry."

On Wednesday, Isiah Thomas said he has no interest in bringing in another "basketball mind" such as Jerry West. Thomas said he needs "a basketball player."
