LuKornet!
I don't see him playing the four much, but his defensive rebounding was encouraging. He'll probably never be much of an offensive rebounder, but he'll be less of a liability if he can hold down the defensive rebounding. He at least brings something different to the table from our other 5s.
Kornet is pretty mobile for a 7fter. Curious to see how a Kanter/Kornet frontcourt would look. Pretty
sure we'll see it at some point this season.
Not sure about that. Kornet probably gets killed guarding fours. I didn't see that kind of mobility from him. You noticed he was always paired with Hicks coming in. Hicks struggled but he impressed me with his bounciness and mobility. What did you think off him?
Id be surprised if Hornacek doesnt give it a try, since the Knicks are out of contention, and KP is out. He likes experimenting with lineups.
Hicks performance was mixed, but I liked the energy he brought, nailed a jumper with very little daylight. Worked in the paint some as well. Enough to want to see Hicks get more PT to see what he can do, this is the time to do it.
