Steve Kerr is already making nice with rookie Tim Hardaway Jr.
Hardaway finished in fifth place in the Rookie of the Year voting — even behind Nets big man Mason Plumlee — but his lone first-place vote came from Kerr, the TNT broadcaster who is the heavy favorite to accept the Knicks head-coaching job this week.
Hardaway, selected 24th and considered one of the Knicks untouchables, also received two second-place votes and 12 third-place votes but finished behind Plumlee in the voting. Plumlee notched 58 points – including two first-place votes – topping Hardaway (23 points). As expected, 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams won Rookie of the Year honors and the Magic's Victor Oladipo finished second. Kerr had Oladipo second and Carter-Williams third on his ballot.
"I base all my votes in every category on players impacting games that matter," Kerr told The Post. "Carter-Williams and Oladipo played well, but for teams that were way out of the playoff race all year. Hardaway played important minutes for a team that went down to the wire in the playoff race. ROY and All-Rookie teams were the most difficult votes for me this year due to so few rookies impacting winning teams."
In a mild surprise, Utah's Trey Burke, Hardaway's college teammate at Michigan, finished third ahead of Plumlee and Hardaway, who dazzled off the bench with his 3-point shooting and athletic forays to the basket but struggled with defense and rebounding.
Kerr is expected to make his decision this week, and sources said he believes Carmelo Anthony is vital to the future of the franchise. Apparently so is Hardaway.
