Yes, absolutely start him. This starting unit needs a rim protector. Also, Mikal hasn’t looked good with the starting unit. Make Mikal 6th man, allows good rotational minutes for Hart, OG, and Mikal. Gives Mikal the opportunity to be the first option and have the offense run through him.
I would not start him I would have Mitch come off the bench in situations you will see Mitchell Robinson and KAT on the floor together when the Knicks do need that much needed rim protector so use Mitchell Robinson for when he’s needed on defense because I love him as a player and his skill set but him coming off the bench would allow him to stay healthy in my opinion we can’t Mitchell Robinson hasn’t been healthy as much in his Knick tenure so him coming off the bench would be more suited for him
Mitch at C, KAT at PF, OG at SF, Bridges at SG and Brunson at PG. Hart will come off the bench and join the rotation with Hukporti, Achiuwa, McBride and Payne. Best lineup and bench rotation in the NBA.
@ With McBride and Payne at SG and Kolek filling in for Brunson, with Dadiet to fill in as the sub of all subs. The Knicks might not even need Shamet. He dislocated his shoulder like Randle. He might end up missing so much time that his addition might mess up the chemistry being built.
He’s gonna start if he’s not traded first, the KAT trade makes the team way more versatile, Randle was a giant liability at center and with KAT the Knicks can play him at the 4 or 5, let’s not forget this team is still very new I think the only guys who have played together over a year are Brunson, hart, McBride, big Mitch and sims, OG and achuiwa aren’t even on the team a full year yet, thibbs is gonna work out a bunch of different rotations this year I can’t wait for Mitch and achuiwa to get healthy the Knicks are one of the deepest teams in the leauge when everyone is healthy
His retune along with Precious will be a done deal for the NBA!!! Man, I am stoked and ready!! Let's Go Knicks the 850 aka Pensacola FL your stomping grounds we salute you brother🤜🤛
If Robinson is healthy, playing well at the 5 and Kat is playing 50% at the 4, then Josh Hart is coming off the bench 50% of the time and that elevates the pressure of not having a wing of the bench, half the time
S to start. I'd have Robinson start and move KAT to the 4. The Knicks offense is good but they have to improve their defense. Robinson at the 5 can do most of the "dirty work" while freeing up Towns. Plus I always wanted to see the Knicks have two bigs in their starting line up.
Most teams are taking a while ti out things together. Looks at Wolves and Dallas, and the entire east with the exception of Boston and the Cavs. Plus we have Precious, Shamet and Deuce coming back. Mitch makes an immediate difference especially if he eventually starts at the 5 and then Hart comes iff the bench with Deuce, Cam, Sims and Precious. And u still got Shamet and the rooks. We keep starting slow the past few years but doesn't matter if they can peak at rhe right time.
Knicks is only 14 games into the season with 3 players that would’ve gotten minutes hurt right now . 1/4 of the season hasn’t even been played and you expect their chemistry with new players is supposed to be figured out by game 14 ? Smh
Honestly, Mikal hasn’t looked good in the starting 5. I don’t care what we paid for him, I think having a strong wing off the bench will be huge for this team and he might strive with the second unit because he will be the first option.
@@Rieky22 I’d rather see Mikal off the bench as the 6th man. I think Hart offers way too much. Between his hustle, defense, rebounding, playmaking, vacillating, and now scoring? I want hart playing over Mikal.
Honestly Marshall you can do either or when he comes back I would let him come off the bench first get his legs back under him but then once he does because honestly I don’t think it’s going to take him that long because even when he came back last year after a long ass layoff he got right back in the groove immediately N was making a difference because we saw in the playoffs how he defended Joel Embiid better than everyone on the roster so much so that Joel Embiid had to do some dirty shit to him because he frustrated him so much but the idea of him n KAT Plus OG bridges and Brunson is fucking earth shattering because you would have prolific scoring with Brunson KAT OG n bridges and plus literally one of the absolute best defenders in basketball protecting the rim
Mitch should not start immediately when he returns-but he *must* start when he’s back in shape. We simply need the defense/rim protection and rebounding.
Robinson needs to start one he gets up to speed... the defense would be better and still run the pick n roll to death successfully with mitch in dunkers spot instead of hart
Yeah Son! Mitch is a Beast we missed his Blocks and Rebounding. No keep him on the bench and let him come in provide Big man relief. The Thunder KAT most Always Start, but what a combination when we need Biggs! 23!
Mitchell Robinson should be a bench player. The team is best with Josh Hart starting. And Robinson is literally a half second from an injury at any minute, hes not dependable. Payne, Robinson, Precious, McBride are a sick bench if healthy. Also, happily trade Robinson and play Huk, Sims and Precious at the 5.
Mitchel should definitely start at center. How can you say KAT at center is better for the Knicks when Minnesota got to the western conference finals with KAT at the four and Rudy at the five?
If they can fix their defense with KAT at center Mitch should come off the bench. But IMO the starting defense will never be top 10. I know it’s only been 14 games but even the last place Wizards got wide open 3’s from just 1 pass. They couldn’t hit any because they are the Wizards but against a good team they’re in trouble.
I think MitchRob like this New Team camaraderie going on 5 road games Trip it's a good Vibe to get to know each other better eat together sleep under the same room.
If Mitch comes back that means hart comes off the bench and that gives us Pacome, hart and Ryan off the bench and let’s not forget Shamet too. Jus sayin
Right now the way that KAT is playing at the 5, I would not move him to the 4. Now... the way to beat Cleveland, when they play Cleveland, is to match their twin towers, or when they play taller lineups like Boston, etc. Otherwise, I'd have Mitch come off of the bench.
Mitch cant physically start at the 5 hes just not really capable. But with him coming off the bench we will have the best center rotation is basketball
I was obsessed with making a trade with Utah this past offseason, not sure if I still would.. But how about…. Mitch, Huckporti and Kolek to Jazz for Kessler and Clarkson?
I wouldn't do that. Healthy Mitch is way better (that's easier said that done) and Huk's ceiling is comparitable to Kessler. Plus Kolek is rhe backuo PG of the future while on his rookie deal.
The obvious position the Knicks need to up grade is center or back up center. Slide KAT to the 4 and start Mitch at the 5, Hukporti a back up center and we're good
Should Mitchell Robinson start when he returns? Type S for Start | B for Bench

No! Sixth Man!

YES START MITCH WHEN KAT GETS BEAT ROBINSON WILL BE THERE TO SMACK THE SHIT OUT IF THAT
Mitch at C, KAT at PF, OG at SF, Bridges at SG and Brunson at PG. Hart will come off the bench and join the rotation with Hukporti, Achiuwa, McBride and Payne. Best lineup and bench rotation in the NBA.
also forgetting about shamet, who is a serviceable two guard
@ With McBride and Payne at SG and Kolek filling in for Brunson, with Dadiet to fill in as the sub of all subs. The Knicks might not even need Shamet. He dislocated his shoulder like Randle. He might end up missing so much time that his addition might mess up the chemistry being built.
I say when Robinson Come Back He needs To Start put towns at PF or play them together
It's crazy how some forget the importance of defense in basketball.just ridiculous
Can't wait to see you back Mitch 💯
Depending on the matchup Towns at the 4 could happen.
He’s gonna start if he’s not traded first, the KAT trade makes the team way more versatile, Randle was a giant liability at center and with KAT the Knicks can play him at the 4 or 5, let’s not forget this team is still very new I think the only guys who have played together over a year are Brunson, hart, McBride, big Mitch and sims, OG and achuiwa aren’t even on the team a full year yet, thibbs is gonna work out a bunch of different rotations this year I can’t wait for Mitch and achuiwa to get healthy the Knicks are one of the deepest teams in the leauge when everyone is healthy
Mitch needs to come off of the bench and gain playing time until he is ready
Yes!!!!!!! Get the boy back!
I want him back ASAP! I miss him playing for us
His retune along with Precious will be a done deal for the NBA!!! Man, I am stoked and ready!! Let's Go Knicks the 850 aka Pensacola FL your stomping grounds we salute you brother🤜🤛

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great news Marsh! Appreciate what you do @Knicks Now by Chat Sports
We need him to start this team needs to start building a defensive identity we can’t stop not one team from scoring
S to start. I'd have Robinson start and move KAT to the 4. The Knicks offense is good but they have to improve their defense. Robinson at the 5 can do most of the "dirty work" while freeing up Towns. Plus I always wanted to see the Knicks have two bigs in their starting line up.
It's funny watching how long the Knicks are taking to get it together, folks think Mitch is just gonna walk on the floor, start and dominate?
No one thinks he’s gonna just walk on and dominate. But his presence alone to start will do wonders for our defense
Most teams are taking a while ti out things together. Looks at Wolves and Dallas, and the entire east with the exception of Boston and the Cavs. Plus we have Precious, Shamet and Deuce coming back. Mitch makes an immediate difference especially if he eventually starts at the 5 and then Hart comes iff the bench with Deuce, Cam, Sims and Precious. And u still got Shamet and the rooks.

No let him come off the bench
Honestly, Mikal hasn’t looked good in the starting 5. I don’t care what we paid for him, I think having a strong wing off the bench will be huge for this team and he might strive with the second unit because he will be the first option.
wth are u two even smoking?? Hart could off the bench comes off the bench Mitch can start and put towns at the 4 we need rim protection
@@Rieky22 I’d rather see Mikal off the bench as the 6th man. I think Hart offers way too much. Between his hustle, defense, rebounding, playmaking, vacillating, and now scoring? I want hart playing over Mikal.
@ mikal is a bigger longer wing player he can stay mikal has been good I understand this sentiment
I think it all depends on matchups and how Mitchy is performing when he comes back.
Honestly Marshall you can do either or when he comes back I would let him come off the bench first get his legs back under him but then once he does because honestly I don’t think it’s going to take him that long because even when he came back last year after a long ass layoff he got right back in the groove immediately N was making a difference because we saw in the playoffs how he defended Joel Embiid better than everyone on the roster so much so that Joel Embiid had to do some dirty shit to him because he frustrated him so much but the idea of him n KAT Plus OG bridges and Brunson is fucking earth shattering because you would have prolific scoring with Brunson KAT OG n bridges and plus literally one of the absolute best defenders in basketball protecting the rim

Trading mitch for a wing makes sense to reduce the minutes of the 3 wings but starting mitch and moving hart to the bench would also do that.
Mitch gotta start ,he's not aggressive enough ,he's not protecting the rim as he should ,I think Mitch can help with that ,as well as his rebounding
Hope he Worked them legs Always Hurt Time to let him Go if this Continues.
Vs cavs. Yessir double big.
Hart chemistry, with the starters, makes it impossible for him to go to the bench
Yeah Son! Mitch is a Beast we missed his Blocks and Rebounding. No keep him on the bench and let him come in provide Big man relief. The Thunder KAT most Always Start, but what a combination when we need Biggs! 23!
One question. When Mitch & KAT play together, who sits ? Bridges or Hart ? Probably Hart.
I’m assuming there aren’t any Knicks fans who actually watched the Wolves get better each year after they moved KAT to the 4
Mitchell Robinson should be a bench player. The team is best with Josh Hart starting. And Robinson is literally a half second from an injury at any minute, hes not dependable. Payne, Robinson, Precious, McBride are a sick bench if healthy. Also, happily trade Robinson and play Huk, Sims and Precious at the 5.
I want to give MitchRob the remaining of this season playing next to town to see how things will work out. If not pull the trigger next season.
Mitchel should definitely start at center. How can you say KAT at center is better for the Knicks when Minnesota got to the western conference finals with KAT at the four and Rudy at the five?
It depends on the teams and the match-ups. A team against the Cavs would work.
If they can fix their defense with KAT at center Mitch should come off the bench. But IMO the starting defense will never be top 10. I know it’s only been 14 games but even the last place Wizards got wide open 3’s from just 1 pass. They couldn’t hit any because they are the Wizards but against a good team they’re in trouble.
Aint got to be top ten to get in the playoffs, then it's horses for courses.
Block nest monster!!!!
I hope to see mitch. And town together on the court at times
How is Mitch helping Kat rim protection if he doesn’t play with Kat ? Just replacing Sims isn’t helping that
Doesn’t Matter just limit his minutes
Mitch won't start, boost the bench due to durability issues. There will most likely be line ups with Mitch and Towns at the same time when needed
I think MitchRob will help Town in the paint. And Town going to help MitchRob in the paint. They could be compatible to each other.
Have him come off the bench and run, sprinkled in with a lil towns in moments!
Actually, you can play them both. Hart needs to come off the bench. Karl is missing defensive assignments clearly.
The only trade I would accept is Nic Claxton. Nic "I've never lost to the Knicks" Claxton
👍
I think MitchRob like this New Team camaraderie going on 5 road games Trip it's a good Vibe to get to know each other better eat together sleep under the same room.
I think he should eventually start but not now
Let him come off the bench & when it comes down to the wire, have him close those games
Start, Hart can come off the bench. I like OG at the small forward. And Mikal at the 2
Start him. he should be who we thought 20 mill worth! Jb/kat/robinson/mikail/anunoby
If Mitch comes back that means hart comes off the bench and that gives us Pacome, hart and Ryan off the bench and let’s not forget Shamet too. Jus sayin
You forgot deuce
yes mitch rob should play the 5
Mitch may not start, but he will finish the games.
Let's go mich😂😂😂😂
We need a solid 5 as well just in case we trade MitchRob. Remember Kat ain't a true 5 his defense is suspicious some nights.
I don't think he should start. Hart is too valuable in the starting lineup.
Mitch start, bench Bridges 😂 ... nah fr though bench josh hart
Right now the way that KAT is playing at the 5, I would not move him to the 4. Now... the way to beat Cleveland, when they play Cleveland, is to match their twin towers, or when they play taller lineups like Boston, etc. Otherwise, I'd have Mitch come off of the bench.
Mitch cant physically start at the 5 hes just not really capable. But with him coming off the bench we will have the best center rotation is basketball
If he loses 10-15 lbs he'll dominate
Is he going to the Bulls?
Hmmmm...not easy ..maybe jost to 2nd unit..
Robinson is not starting. He’s coming off the bench. He’s got no offensive game.
Defense don’t needs his offense besides dunk and blocks that’s all we need at the center position buddy
@@elel3439he ain’t starting
We don't need offense just his defense, we have 3 scorers and a half with Josh Hart Mitch can just play D
Mitch can start against certain teams with big bodies like Cavs, Philly, Wolves, etc.
@@bsolonj9773 I agree except with the 3 and 1/2. Hart is proving to be quite the offensive player
No Mitch will be the backup 5 and will close some games
Mitch isn't getting tŕaded
Back soon, reinjured soon😂
defense

Send him to those Lakers
L take mitch should start at the center

I was obsessed with making a trade with Utah this past offseason, not sure if I still would..
But how about….
Mitch, Huckporti and Kolek to Jazz for
Kessler and Clarkson?
I wouldn't do that. Healthy Mitch is way better (that's easier said that done) and Huk's ceiling is comparitable to Kessler. Plus Kolek is rhe backuo PG of the future while on his rookie deal.
tyler smith, you a fraud lil bro
The obvious position the Knicks need to up grade is center or back up center. Slide KAT to the 4 and start Mitch at the 5, Hukporti a back up center and we're good
Mitch and whoever else for Brandon Ingrim
