It will be interesting seeing how Thibs uses Mikal. Those pin downs into the nail look pretty efficient for Mikal. Also going to be great having two excellent big wing defenders on ether side of the court at a time ripping the ball from drivers

Thibs must be foaming at the mouth with all this defense

I misread the title and was wondering how he was helping them watch film in the film room. Picturing him bringing snacks and using a laser pointer

Excellent breakdown. Here’s my blueprint for the Knicks offense during the regular season:
I think Julius plays a Jokic type role. If that’s too lofty, let’s call it iHart type role. He slides off of short pick and rolls and walks into middies from the elbow, if he’s got a mismatch he posts up while shooters orbit around him, he slides to one and watch the defense collapse around him.
It’s a 4 level offense that’s pretty unstoppable. Ppl keep saying Brunson is ball dominant and it just isn’t true, he’s EXCELLENT off the catch and shoot when he has another playmaker on the court with him.
JB initiates action, provides initial pressure, second action is a Julius pistol, 3rd action is a DHO or post, if DHO, Julius rolls to the post, if post, defense collapses into Julius, swing swing swing, open 3.
I think that base can be dominant with the level of shooters and playmakers on the court at any given time. I think Julius leads us in scoring and rebounds, Brunson leads in assists and efficiency, Mikal in steals and OG in +/-.

Spacing gonna be immaculate.

We have an amazing roster outside of a legit backup center in the event Mitch is hurt.
