1. I love the Knicks defensively. I am really scared of the Knicks offensively. Bridges is gross as an offensive option. If he isn't given the Brunson role (as he had in Bklyn) he looks broken and lost on that end. Also, we are over-seeking the Towns/Brunson connection and Towns has been unreliable with the 3pt shot...so far. OG is not going to give you this performance night in and night out.
2. We are going to SORELY miss Donte. I would've preferred Donte's supreme offense and above average defense over the bulk of picks we gave up for Briges for an elite defender who looks bad on the offensive end.
3. We've gotta find a way to get Hart out of the starting lineup. He's unguarded by defenders, he's small as a PF and his impact seems to be minimal. He needs to attack or become a threat somehow on offense.
4. Our season really hinges on our core of offensive players (Brunson/OG/KAT) in the starting lineup. Hart is not reliable as a bucket getter and Mitch is not reliable from a health standpoint. Look at the Wolves - Ant/Donte/Reid/Randle. WE are relying on Brunson/Kat/OG
The defense looks ordinary
