PG: KNICKS Whoop The G-League Wizzez!!

You will not have both if you're starting a non-scoring threat C. You have to choose one or the other. Minnesota with Gobert/KAT were in the bottom half of the league offensively.

Why not? We've had multiple top 10 units with a non-threat C, including last year. Towns and Bridges replacing Randle and DiVincenzo can't bump our offense up a couple spots without us sacrificing our defense?

Minnesota also had McDaniels forget how to shoot, Ant still learning how to run an offense, and grandpa Conley on his last legs. We have Brunson in his prime & two of the league's best 3&D guys.

Our offense was based on offensive rebounding and iHart's secondary playmaking out of the high post once Mitch went down. We don't have that personnel anymore.

Zooming out to the bigger picture, could you explain how playing Mitch helps us on either end of the floor against a healthy Boston?

It doesn't. Our starting 5 is fine. It's the bench we need to strengthen. Right now we have Cam/Sims and the rookies get limited minutes. Thibs is running shorter rotations most of the time as a result. It has led to tired legs and multiple losses we should have won.

Deuce/Cam/Precious/Sims will be the bench until Mitch gets back in two months. IF he gets back in two months. We will be deep as hell with everyone healthy. The starting 5 is set in stone unless there is an injury. End of story.

Zooming even further out you can see every player doesn't have to play against every team and certain players will have better match ups against certain teams so that's why the versatile team the Knicks have can play against different teams and in different styles.

Indeed. That is why I think the starting 5 will remain the same and we will use our bench to be opportunistically strong on defense when the in-game matchups call for it. There's no need to change the starters just because, since we made the trade to get an elite offense and the offense is, in fact, elite.

We're trending towards a stronger defense with the current starting 5. If we're passable, I'd like to see it stay that way but I'm not fully convinced yet. KAT's dominance on the boards has been a big help.

It helps that KAT actually wants to play Center. He knows he is more effective at the 5 offensively, which forces him to be good on the defensive end.

If he can't keep up defensively at the 5, it will force the team to move him to the 4, which is something I think he doesn't want because his offensive game would suffer.

Floor is wide open for him. I'll have to check the numbers, but when has Towns ever had two 37% 3pt shooters (Brunson and Anunoby) along with a 33% 3pt shooter (Hart) and a 31% 3pt shooter (Bridges) who still can't be left open because he's a way better shooter than that and shoots at a high volume.

This is huge news. I cannot wait to have everyone back healthy. No word on Deuce though.

The depth Leon built with this roster is impressive. Fully healthy we are deep as hell. Even the rookies provide a little depth that we usually don't have most years.

Jericho Sims told us to shut the Huk up

Huk inspired him to use his athleticism to catch half a body!

Mitch will play 20 regular season games. Tops.

It's like having Greg Oden around
