While New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau plans to start the best players on the roster rather than develop some of the youngsters, the preseason hasn’t made his job any easier.
After going 3-1 over four preseason games, the Knicks are preparing to start the regular season against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The starting five has yet to be set, but both rookies, Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley have looked phenomenal so far.
Thibodeau plans to play aggressive basketball, focusing on defense and overwhelming opposing teams. The Knicks have done a good job of that, keeping the Cleveland Cavaliers to just 83 points in the final preseason contest.
