Insider Reveals Knicks SHOCKING Plans For Center Position… | Knicks News
With the recent news about Mitchell Robinson potentially missing training camp for the Knicks, all eyes are on what the New York Knicks will do during the season if Robinson goes down. According to multiple NBA Insiders, the Knicks could play Julius Randle at the center position next season but not in the traditional way you’d think. Randle could play the 5 on offense but on defense, he could switch with OG to create an extremely formidable duo… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Ppl forget that Willis Reed was an undersized PF playing center against a 7' 1" Wilt Chamberlain.
The Knicks will be fine.
It worked for GS for years!! Draymond isn’t a traditional center, but they made the small ball work!!
Oh played well vs embiid
Why not have simms work out with the dream- olaguwon??
The dumbest crap I’ve heard. The NBA gone big. With most Teams having 2 7footers. You wanna play a PF who’s just coming off serious shoulder at Center to bang with Giants. And OG who is injury prone. Dumbest shiat I’ve heard. Like last season no backup 4. Every year roster construction lopsided
Srupid 🤦🤦🤦
Plan on OG going on the injury list quick as any subway. Playing freakin center. What was wrong with. The Center they brought for work out who was great last season with Utah
I don’t like it. OG has injury issues and now we want him to bang with bigs? Let’s get a real backup center. God bless
The two players got the strength and size to put body on centers. But it has to be situational and on certain matchups
Randall can guard the 5 better than he can guard the 4. There are only MAYBE 3 centers he can't match up with.
The three International rookie Knicks Centers can help and solve the NY Knicks Center problems. Train them, they can be NBA ready, like former Knicks great Patrick Ewing.
It won't hurt.
This is a temporary solution to a long term problem that was present at the end of the playoffs. The Knicks should have gone out and got a traditional center in the draft, free agency or via trade. This is a terrible idea. This is why they will never compete with the Celtics, Sixers, etc. Those teams address deficiencies. All the Knicks want to do is sign wings, guards, Ryan Archiandio and Taj Gibson!
Hart could play the 4 if needed
We just gotta do what we gotta do… Play with what we got and WIN Baby!!!!!
That is so crazy, with one just coming off surgery and the other always getting injured why would you take that chance !
Let's see what tibbs do ,he can try it with this line up OG,Julius, Hart,Brunson Bridges or Donte but Randell and Og has to STAY HEALTHY ITS ALL UP TO TIBBS
Just because a 6 foot 8 center did good before doesn't mean we should purposely do it , we want a legit 7 footer
YOUR HEAD MOVES TOOOOOOOOO MUCH… ANNOYINGGGGG
So we want on we gonna let him go up against centers ? Stupid move
I SAID THIS YESTERDAY!
ITS THE PERFECT POSITION FOR JR
Acchuwa being the back up is not a problem. Is Sims ready for full time duty? Robinson is hurt already. I hope it's Sims year. What if someone else gets hurt , or foul trouble ? At least bring up Sksp or Hakaporti for emergency and garbage time minutes .
Jericho Simms played good when Mitch got hurt so what's the problem? Now these clowns is suggesting to over work our injury prone players???
