PG: Smart
SG: Edwards
SF: Ojeleye/Langford
PF: Theis/Williams
C: Williams/Porier
That's not bad whatsoever. Obviously Brad won't just put the entire bench in at once. Probably will have 2 starters on the floor at all times. I think a lot of the bench's success relies on Carsen Edwards. If he shows that he can score against NBA level defenses, then the bench is not a weakness.
Wait, thats not bad?!
Then the Knicks might actually be good!
Knicks projected bench:
Gibson
Portis
Knox/Dotson
Ellington/Trier
Payton/Ntilikina
Rejoice.
