Mitchell Robinson's long-awaited return to the Knicks is set to enhance their defense significantly. Coach Tom Thibodeau pointed out the team's struggles without Robinson, who was expected to be the starting center. Reintegrating Robinson will lead to a lineup restructuring, pushing Karl-Anthony Towns to power forward, affecting other key players like Josh Hart and OG Anunoby. Hart, vital for the team's emotional spirit and competitiveness, may still play a key role despite being undersized. Robinson's health will be pivotal to the Knicks' depth and overall rotation as they aim for success this season.
Mitch was projected to be the starting center on our team. So we've gone 50-something games without our starting center.
Robinson's return will trigger a significant shift in the lineup, with Towns expected to slide to the power forward position.
Hart, the team's undeniable emotional leader, brings relentless energy and all-around versatility despite being undersized at 6-foot-4.
If the Knicks opt to move Anunoby to the bench, they sacrifice their best finisher and top perimeter defender.
