Isaiah Hartenstein’s name doesn’t come up often when talking about important players on the Knicks, but he showed just how valuable he can be down the stretch last year. Can the second-year Knick do the same this season?
Good start:
When talking about Hartenstein’s first season as a Knick, it’s important to note that fans saw two completely different versions of him. One that averaged five points, six rebounds, and .8 assists in his first 51 games. He looked uncomfortable and lost, missing easy layups, blowing defensive assignments, and getting beat to rebounds he should have secured.
