Some people are under the impression that inserting Mitchell Robinson into the starting lineup will immediately mask any of the shortcomings that Karl-Anthony Towns has on that end of the floor.

Speaking on The Kevin O’Connor Show, Amin Elhassan explained that Brown needs to demand more from the Knicks on defense, especially with Towns. It is a fair point by Elhassan, as Towns has struggled on the defensive end throughout his career.
