Mike Brown has only coached the New York Knicks for a few games, and is already leaving his stamp on the offense. While most of the focus is being devoted to the three-point volume, ball movement, and overall pace, an equally major reveal continues to fly under the radar: Three-guard lineups are going to be a staple.
New York has spent much of the preseason with at least three of Jalen Brunson, Deuce McBride, Malcolm Brogdon, and Landry Shamet on the court. Josh Hart’s injury has in some ways necessitated these smaller looks. Brown may not be preparing to play three-guard units for seven to 10 minutes every half.
