Mohamed Diawara has essentially fallen out of Mike Brown’s rotation. The New York Knicks need that to change immediately.
New York’s defensive issues are being laid bare over the past few weeks. Some are inclined to pin the blame on the inherent challenges of building a rotation around Karl-Anthony Towns in the middle. Some are starting to say the quiet things about Jalen Brunson out loud. Others will point to the Knicks’ recent spate of injuries, the current absence of Josh Hart, and the relative unreliability of Mitchell Robinson.
Smaller contingents of people will shift the spotlight onto Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby.
