Sunday night Tom Thibodeau and his young Knicks’ squad got a dose of reality, coming face to face with many of their flaws and weaknessesas they fell to the Detroit Pistons in their second preseason game.
The Knicks struggled with the problems that were evident last season as the team - mediocre defense, subpar playmaking and an inability to live outside the three-point line where the game has shifted in recent years. And maybe the one bright spot was the play of last year’s lottery pick, RJ Barrett.
On Instagram Monday Barrett posted an ad he’s featured in for the Knicks new season - working late at night on his shooting as a security guard falls asleep while waiting out the workout.
