Every problem you solve with this team creates another problem.

The calls for Precious Achiuwa — which I do expect to be heeded — are a direct result of the rebounding deficiencies of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, who are poor rebounders even “down” a position.

KAT is leading the association in DReb% and Josh Hart is one of the best rebounding 6-4 guys in association history … and they still have to chase rebounding. (*) Sigh.

In terms of the two mentioned guys, I’m not quite exactly sure what the expectation could have possibly been. Their rebounding numbers are available for free within 10 seconds on BB-ref to the general public.

(*) In much the same way as they’ve constructed things to have three “elite/excellent” wing defenders in Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges — and still can’t defend.

Agreed, but we’ll also have less spacing, less playmaking, be less efficient

Julius with a decent 22 and 10 in a win, but I must say I don’t mind missing out on watching those 4 turnovers…

watched a bit of the game, thankfully didn’t see those turnovers…did watch him on this one play where he kept knocking people over underneath the basket while he kept shooting, missing and rebounding until he finally scored…

it was impressive to watch, not all the missing, but just how physical he was…

Also the Bucks won going away with Giannis and Dame each going for over 30. Bobby Portis still their third best player…

Precious will make the Knicks lineup bigger and put people in proper spots

Agreed, but we’ll also have less spacing, less playmaking, be less efficient and instead of being 30th in pace, we’ll be….. well I guess we’ll still be 30th but even worse. I’m not totally against taking a look at it, but it doesn’t seem ideal either.

Precious is 6′ 9″

Josh also has to be in there with this lineup because Mikal and OG are both poor rebounders.

Agreed. That’s been a big thing with why I want him to start. Precious or Mitch could get the boards also, but Josh does so much more. even though he’s not a very good 3 pointer shooter, he’s better than those other guys and is having the bounce back efficiency season I expected from him.

Will Chuma Okeke be a future call up if this defense continues to suck..
