Yes! Great breakdown. Mitch is the key to relief for Kat and improve on rim protection and offensive rebounds. But then one of the current starters will have to sit. right now based on play it would be Bridges until he gets more consistent. Him and OG will be fighting for the starting spot.
a good intro to this will be with Precious coming back weeks before Mitch. Not with the size but the depth, rotations, mins, and learning. Once we have Mitch we'll have a better understanding how best the pieces fit.
Precious looked awesome out there in the switchable defense and ok in the short second quarter spurt with KAT. Obv not gonna be switching with Mitch but the biggest takeaway is just having lineup flexibility in what we can put out there. A huge benefit to having a deeper team (or getting healthy) is being able to throw out different lineups in different situations and I feel like we have that in spades in terms of lineup variability.
so WHO out of OG, Mikal, Hart, KAT are you benching to play an oft injured Robinson? Mitch is backup center at best, love him, but he just never really has shown he can stay on the floor, stay out of foul trouble or grow his game beyond the 7 pts and 8 rebound mark of his career. He's a backup, like a Nerlens etc, that's it and there's nothing wrong with that.
Mitch will come in off the bench. The bench needs a defensive center because of the lack of scoring and defense. The first wave is set. Karl and mitch on the floor at the same time is what happened in Minnesota, its a bad udea
Yeah, that’s my worry as well. I think Thibs has to hockey coach this a bit and bring in lines that are more defensively balanced when KAT units are inevitably getting abused in the paint.
Mitch won't spend much time with Kat, because Mitch, like Gobert, does not have much of an offensive game outside two feet from the basket and will only clog the center and disrupt NY's current offense.
Even if they dont play huge minutes together think its a good lineup to have in certain situations. Also MIN was 3rd in Net Rating carried by the Defensive side but the Knicks curerent surrounding pieces are better than the twolves offensively even if Mitch is worse than Gobert defensively. Roles are similar and 3rd Net Rating lineup as a weapon to throw around aint bad.
Before blowing out the hornets yesterday the Knicks were ranked 9th in the nba on defense. And it’s been that way for a week at least. And they are rising up the defensive rankings. So before making videos it’s better to check your facts first. The Knicks are not lacking defensively they’re top10 and getting better
Can he shoot a free throw = no / do he have any scoring abilities other than dunking = no do he have any offense = no stupid video =yes stop dreaming Mitch is outta of here

Thus is an excellent video.
Tht was EXCELLENT bro! And all facts! We need Mitch but the thing is we will miss the fluidity of J hart

I just don't think thibs gonna start mitch wit how good this offense is!
Im there too, I think the starting lineup should stay the same but good to have lineup options to throw out in certain situations!

I hope Mitch stays healthy enough to do the thing he used to do before his injury.
We're sure Mitch comes back as Mitch after his second ankle surgery in 10 months?
He’s come back strong every other time. I’m a little worried about spacing issues with KAT similar to what Minn had with Rudy and KAT.
This is a good breakdown but it fails to consider the biggest criticism of this tactical change -- mitch gumming up the league's best offense.
For a couple weeks then he's gonna get injured again 😢
good analysis. looks like they may trade for a shot blocker that stays durable to take this team to another level

KAT really doesn’t play center, he’s more an oversized 2 or 3.
Mitch ain’t gonna do anything for the Knicks be for real he’s a bum can’t even shoot a free throw stop making these stupid videos please
