The debate over who will round out the New York Knicks’ starting lineup most frequently orbits around one question: Josh Hart, or Mitchell Robinson? Karl-Anthony Towns better hope the answer is Deuce McBride.
Knicks head coach Mike Brown has ambitious plans for his new center, including hopes of using him as more of a playmaking hub.
