The New York Knicks cannot even begin to replace OG Anunoby while he’s on the shelf nursing a left hamstring strain. They do, however, need to fill his minutes in the rotation. And that could, perhaps should, lead them to try out rookie Mohamed Diawara.
Turning to a 20-year-old just taken with the No. 51 pick isn’t going to solve all—or even any—of New York’s issues. But the sheer lack of secondary wings could leave head coach Mike Brown with little choice.
After Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart, the Knicks do not have another proven wing on the roster.
