Trier Sea-s comparisons to ex-Knicks

Knicks coach David Fizdale has compared 6-foot-5 rookie guard Allonzo Trier to Clippers reigning Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams.

Trier, a Seattle native, would be just as flattered if he were compared to a former Clippers Sixth Man of the Year, Jamal Crawford.

Trier has befriended two fellow Seattle products and accomplished ex-Knicks guards, Crawford and Nate Robinson. The latter, who is retired, was on hand at the Garden for Wednesday’s season opener.

The former dunk champion nicknamed “Nate The Great’’ chestbumped Trier after the undrafted Arizona star endeared himself to Knicks’ fans with a vicious one-hand- ed driving dunk over Atlanta’s Taurean Prince.

“Both of those guys are great supporters of me, great guys who will be mentors if I have anything I need to ask them,’’ Trier said after his successful Knicks debut in which he poured in 15 points with two blocks and five rebounds. “But it’s coincidence that they are Seattle guys who happened to play here before me.”

Two of Isiah Thomas’ finest Knicks maneuvers, Crawford and Robinson, are Seattle icons in a city robbed of its NBA team.

“Those are guys that have seen me grow up when I first started to pick up a basketball, great guys,’’ Trier said. “They love to give back to the community and they try to be there for the young kids who are up-andcoming players, try to give any advice and be mentors for them, lead us in a positive direction.’’

Fizdale’s comparison to instantoffense Williams also makes sense to Trier.

“Sure it’s a compliment, a guy who won Sixth Man of the Year, really good player, has had a long career,’’ Trier said. “Guy that can score the ball, comes off the bench, makes plays for his teammates, has a lot of ability to create.”

Nicknames “IsoZo,” Trier has the green light in Fizdale’s ball-sharing offense. And that green light led to Trier’s blow-by of Trae Young and spectacular flush that prompted Fizdale to celebrate on the sideline and send the Garden into a frenzy.

“Oh yeah, it was a lot of buzz [on social media], a lot of mentions from people,’’ Trier said. “That was a special moment to get to feel the energy of the Garden on opening night. I look forward to many more.”

Fizdale said rookie center Mitchell Robinson, who lasted 1:19 before respraining his ankle, should be a go Friday in Brooklyn. However, it’s possible Courtney Lee will be deactivated for a second straight game.
