Mike D’Antoni is ready to reinstall Chris Duhon as the Knicks starting point guard, and also wants to make him a quasi-assistant coach as he seeks more input from the players.

The Post has learned Duhon and D’Antoni held an important meeting in their Cleveland hotel Saturday afternoon as the desperate Knicks coach picked his captain’s brain on the Knicks’ troubles for 30 minutes.

“It was typical coach-talking-to-his-captain type talk, trying to see what we could do to get this team back to where we were,” Duhon told The Post. “What I see we could do differently, what he and I need to do better. There was a lot of brain-storming trying to find solutions.”

What D’Antoni sees is his Robinson starting point guard experiment as a failure.

D’Antoni said he now firmly views Robinson is better suited as a shooting guard off the bench.
