Long time Phoenix fan here. Great breakdown on Mikal - he is best suited as a 3 and D specialist, not the primary playmaker like the Nets were doing. When he gets to play off the ball he can focus more on backdoor cuts which he is good at also; he's basically the perfect 3 and D wing.

[@KNRS927]

I used to think having Tatum and Brown defending a PnR is terrifying. Have fun when Anunoby and Bridges are defending the PnR while you can have your big in the corner to help or clog the gaps.

I would love Robert Williams. I know the injury thing between both of them but can you imagine that defense 😮🔒

[@DirectionlessStudent]

On point. Mikal will thrive with the Knicks next year, because the Knicks don't need him to be their #1 or even #2 option on offense and that's why they wanted him so much -- he perfectly fills a key role for them as a perimeter defender, cutter, and stretcher of opposing defenses. The only thing that worries me is the loss of IHart -- I think he was more valuable last season than many fans realize.

[@conorwatchvidz]

If they keep Hartenstein I think they win the East. NBA players always talk about how hard it is to go back to back after having that sense of accomplishment and just a little less drive to win. Meanwhile the Knicks are as hungry as it gets and built almost perfectly. They also just drafted Tyler Kolek. This is gonna get interesting but if I had to bet I’d honestly put my money on the Knicks to win the East. They almost made the ECF with players starting who will now be on their bench and that’s wild

RJ Barrett was chucking 3s desperately and every team had 3 players shoulder checking randle every time he set foot in the paint cause our team couldn't hit the side of a barn with a buckshot. It was a very dark time. That was not the norm for Thibbs. We have a solid 8 man rotation of high quality players any contending team would want. It's night and day from those circumstances.

[@zachcomposto535]

Randle was a much better defender after OG came to the Knicks. I’d also argue his strength on that end is his strength in general. He won’t get pushed around on that end, it’s all about getting him to buy in

the Knicks won't run half court offense. Most of Mikal's numbers will come from the break, his defense and the tenacity of the Knicks D will cater to more points for him. The Knicks have 2 half court iso players already in Brunson and JR, so what they need from Bridges is: an on ball defender and for him using his length to interrupt passing lanes and to act as a motion cutter because you have to respect because he can slash to the basket and hit shots in the mid range. I see him being something like what Paul George is in his prime. What I do know, the Knicks bench depth will be un f$%king real.
