The harsh truth that could stop Mike Brown from giving Knicks fans what they want
Since taking the reins of the New York Knicks, Mike Brown has made it clear the offense will undergo a major facelift. It’s only preseason, but the functional overhaul is already underway. And the changes become painfully obvious when looking at how fast New York is playing.
Speed is among the biggest promises Brown has made when discussing his vision. Skeptics have looked at the roster, and wondered how he’d deliver. New York is not especially athletic, and Jalen Brunson, its best player, has spent the entirety of his tenure dominating the ball more than anyone in the NBA.
