We know that Mike Brown wants the Knicks to play faster this season, something his former teams in Golden State and Sacramento became known for. In his opening press conference, he emphasized that today's league is built around pace-and-space. The changes Brown wants to implement are already on display in Las Vegas, as the Knicks have been one of the more up-tempo teams in the summer league.
Under Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks have routinely been one of the slowest teams in the league. Since Jalen Brunson joined the Knicks three years ago, the team's pace has gotten even slower.
