Every Knick came out of the last game okay and practiced, "a pretty good practice," Mike Brown said. Karl-Anthony Towns will pop out for jumpers a lot and has the green light to trail. Andre Drummond is told to keep rolling to the rim and shoot 3s only when wide open.
Karl-Anthony Towns may draw a power forward, not a center, in the 76ers' Oct. 20 opener at the Knicks: Nick Nurse is weighing putting his center on Josh Hart. The upside: more switching on screens. The risk: can Towns pass, rebound, post up and shoot over a power forward?
Those 5, they gonna play... everybody else in this gym, you fighting.
"Those 5, they gonna play... everybody else in this gym, you fighting." Knicks coach Mike Brown told his team Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart will play; everyone else is fighting to make the team or for minutes.
Maybe Andre is too. I don't know.
Brown wants more Karl-Anthony Towns at the elbow and more pick-and-roll for OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, but warned what worked in the playoffs "may not work during the regular season." He floated Andre Drummond as an elbow passer too: "Maybe Andre is too. I don't know."
