Mitch on coming off the bench: “Whatever helps the team… (I can do) the same things I did with the first unit – offensive rebounds, screen setting, rolling, pressure on the rim. Same thing.”
Aside from the first 6 minutes of each half, the centers don’t really play exclusively with “starters” vs ” bench”. Their shifts are shorter than Brunson, Hart, etc, so even off the bench he’d get plenty time each night with the first unit.

Yeah…. These dudes are going to rotate as required situationally..
Obviously Mitch is going to be in there to lock down the paint, to hold a lead, to provide us dominance on the boards when required.
iHart doesn’t necessarily score more than Mitch but he absolutely oils our offense in ways Mitch simply doesn’t…passer, cutter, occasional shooter and floater threat.
We have a great center unit

It would help the team if he had the freedom to shoot outside shots and take bigs off the dribble like hes shown in practice. Thibs needs to let him test that out against bench bigs
