“Our focus today was totally, 100 percent on the defensive side today, not so much of schemes and X’s and O’s but more of trusting one another on the defensive end, talking to one another, communicating, being there for our teammates, being in sync with everybody out there on the basketball court,” Carmelo Anthony explained. The team arrived at West Point yesterday following media day at MSG Training Center. While most of the talk surrounding New York is about the famous Triangle Offense, Fisher and his coaching staff are adjusting the game plan on the defensive side of the court as well. Iman Shumpert tells NYKnicks.com that the squad will force everything to the sidelines as opposed to the middle of the floor, which is a significant change from the past two seasons.
Shumpert is considered an elite wing defender with the ability to guard up to three positions on the floor. Directly after practice Shumpert was all smiles when chatting about the defensive mindset for the Knicks. He provided a glimpse inside the gym at West Point. “I thought it was great, everybody really communicated, it was dope to be around that type of energy,” Shumpert said. “Being around that type of energy consistently makes for a better environment and practice generally and that will translate over to games.” Conditioning & Stoudemire’s Minutes Embracing The Moment “Meaningful is probably an understatement. It’s an honor to be with this organization,” Fisher acknowledged. Next Up
Possibly even signing Smith with a 2 year vet min deal in the end or a talent like Ed Davis with player option on 2nd, at worst Greg Stimensa who signed a NON GUARANTEED contract to Toronto He plays with so much energy, it could be greatly contacious and infections, having a multiple effect on each player especially with both Iman/Tenacious initiating the DEF and the others putting pressure and playing the passing lanes as well Iman James Johnson who is a very under rated 1v1 defender, ranked #1 on block 3pt shots who was in the D League for a short stinct last year and I have been hoping The Knicks would have signed for multiple years already, who just signed a 2 year 2.5m per year deal to rejoin Toronto, after playing in Memphis He is clearly a steal for Toronto, with a SF/PF that could defend the elites in Durant/Lebron and even G/F's like Harden with his size/length at 6-9 250pds Early Dalembert |
