I'm sure GS didn't plan on Mudiay having 18 at half. We rarely have multiple players hot....but when we do it points to our best roster years....So it's always easy to change defensive focus to 1 player.....And on offense.....they probably said lets have more motion and force Kanter to be the defensive anchor.
Right now we have players that can get theres.....but until we see more consistent offensive outputs....its easy to guard us. We need more mobile bigs if we want to be a serious team. Kanter is great....but when his offense is shut down.....he quickly becomes a liability.....and the other team goes on a run.....just my recent observation.
I think it is as simple as the Knicks are just not a very talented team
Yep, we aren't talented and we are poorly constructed. A true sized SF would help a lot. Find a more mobile Center that can switch off with Porzingis. Those should be the goals for next season. A true SF moves Hardaway to the 2nd unit where he would be one of the more talented 2nd unit players in the league. I would roll with the 3 young PG's next season. We should have a better idea of where Franks future is at the point. If he ends up a 2 we can go after a FA PG in 2020. Personally I would love to get Julius Randle but we don't have the space.
C Porzingis
PF Randle
SF Mikal Bridges
SG Lee
PG Frank
This team would be great defensively
You could also roll with a 2nd unit lacking but we would add another lottery pick next season
C O'Quinn
PF Beasley
SF Hardaway
SG Dotson
PG Trey Burke
