The Knicks 2nd unit bench lineup started the season off by outscoring 65% of the Knicks opponents, whereas the Knicks starter lineup were only outscoring 30% of their opponents. Coach Thibs solution for the starter lineup was to blame one player in the starter lineup (Kemba). And putting D.Rose in the starter lineup, which D.Rose refused.
Rookie McBride or Kemba are a much better PG than Burks & Randle.
Rookie Grimes are a better SG than Barrett, especially alongside Kemba or McBride.
Cam Reddish 2-Way hustle performance are a better complimentary-player at SF than Barrett, Cam just need a steady lineup he could build chemistry in.
Randle need to start playing as a PF instead of point-forward, plus Randle's minutes need to decrease to receive 24 to 28 min of playing time a game.
MitchRob are owed an $$$ extension, because without him the Knicks chances of winning games drop to 35%.
The tandem of Randle & Barrett has NO chemistry on offense or defense, plus the two players has problem playing at any position, and their abundance of turnovers show poor passing-skills .. And the two players has been the most minute played players on the Knicks roster the past 3 seasons.
Obi Toppin and Quickley need more playing time than 7 to 12 min a game to improve his talent on the court.
