Although King joined the Detroit Pistons during the 2018-19 season in a similar position with the organization, it was when he joined the New York Knicks as the head video coordinator that Scott King truly found his niche in 2019. Three years later, he was promoted to assistant director of player development, working closely with Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau in the process.
