The season hasn't even begun, and the Knicks are already spending too much time focusing on the defensive side of the ball. One of the biggest questions they have to answer is who the fifth starting spot will go to, and the answer should unequivocally be whoever helps optimize the offensive impact of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Knicks officially went all-in last summer by making huge moves to acquire Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets. In doing so, they handed the keys over to Brunson and Towns. This team can only go as far as those two take them.
