The play of rookie Obi Toppin is one of the few recent bright spots for the Knicks.
Toppin, whom the Knicks took with the No. 8 pick overall, brought the Knicks bench to its feet Friday night against Dallas with a put-back slam over the top of Kristaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic. All told, Toppin played just 11 minutes, going 4-for-5 from the field and finished with nine points. He also collected two rebounds and one steal and was a plus-five while on the floor.
"I really like the way he’s been playing," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.
