You could arguably make the same statement about Huk.

McCullar:Hart; Huk:Robinson.

I can see Huk replacing Robinson easier than McCullar replacing Hart. Huk played some minutes where he looked like he belonged. Not quite the defensive stopper that Robinson is, but not bad either. But he makes up for it with better contributions on the offensive end.
McCullar hasn't done anything yet. To say he's going to replace the 2025-26 sixth man of the year (yes, I said it!), is classic Knicks fans talking out their ass before a guy has logged any minutes.

The statement was an “if he can develop” statement. I think all anyone is doing is drawing similarities in their size and play style.

Problem is Huk is so injury prone he makes Mitch look like Ewing before the 1997 wrist injury

What is this based on?

Huk with Achilles and meniscus issues.

We need big men we can count on. Huk and Mitch likely ain’t it.

That’s why Rose was interested in Simmons. He can play the 4 while KAT plays C. Simmons is big and long enough to defend the low post.

Center depth may end up being an issue hopefully Nnaji pans out.
