Knicks CHANGE ROTATION! Diawara STEALS Backup Forward Role From Sochan… | Knicks News
THE KNICKS HAVE CHANGED THE ROTATION! After games of either DNPs or limited time, Mike Brown finally settled on a backup forward for the game and it was Mohamed Diawara’s time… HE ABSOLUTELY THRIVED in the moment and showed everyone why he deserves consistent minutes. The Knicks are just a better team when Diawara plays 20+ minutes and the results are too obvious to deny at this point. Diawara fits Mike Brown’s system better than Jeremy Sochan right now and that’s why that backup forward position now belongs to Mohamed Diawara… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Man Diawara so good bro. He’s got a bright future
I don’t get the Sochan thing that was unnecessary coulda let bro go somewhere where he gonna play
Sochan is such a disappointment. Stop it with the clown hair , you gotta be great to pull that stuff off.
What stole back?
Mohamed earned it back. Let the rookie Center stay as the #2 backup Center. His skill is growing. He will be the next starting Center. HC Mike Brown shouldn't mess up.
I think Knicks fuck up signing sochan and Jose I don’t get it Diawara play so much minutes just 10 points 33% mike make Jose play 12 min but give you everything 7pt 4rb and 5Ast Mike not playing Jose at all or sochan they both should be playing more along with starters I’m not sorry but Diawara he should lose minutes really because of experience you can’t play 22 min just put 10pt lmaooo idk what star yall looking at he not Rj barret now lol😂
I hope HC Mike Brown doesn't mess up the knicks lineup too much. He can easily lose the game and lose respect for his Knicks players.
Get it right!
He didn’t steal it from Sochan, it was never his to begin with. Sochan just got here and Mo been here, they need to find a way to play them together. Sochan hasn’t really had any time to pick up anything sheesh. I believe you said the same thing in another video. I still believe Sochan will be valuable for this Knicks team
He didn't "STEAL" anything. He earned it. He was on this team FIRST, and has shown promise.
He didn’t steal Sochan spot. Sochan was just a throw it up against the wall and see what sticks. Sochan will be an end of the rotation piece. Actually, in my opinion it was a wasted signing as he brings nothing to the team. Sure he’s young, but there is a reason San Antonio let him go. As for Diawara, he’s earning his minutes and that’s good for him.
I'm so confused. Diawara has been with the Knicks since the start of the season & we know what he's capable of. Obviously Mr. Potato Head don't see as well as we fans do! He Brings in Sochan and automatically inserts him into the line-up. Now Diawara is taking his spot, lol. He just got here… That's the problem with Brown & most nba coaches. We have some guys on the bench that deserveto play, but most rookies get no respect! What happened to Kolek. SMH… Diawara has earned playing time and should be playing every game, so please let him play 🏀!!!!!!! And more than 5 minutes a game… Open your 👀
I would like Sochan taking all of Huk mins as third string C
…and rightly so. They need to get him a contract
The Knicks played excellent basketball last night and I hope they play the same way tomorrow afternoon against the Spurs at the garden
Mo is really good defensively too. Just look at how he keeps his man in front of him! It feels like he didn’t give up a single easy shot. Sure, he makes mistakes and picks up too many unnecessary fouls, but that’s totally normal for a rookie. And on top of that, he’s a solid passer, sees the floor well, and can handle the ball — which is honestly surprising. I can genuinely see Pascal Siakam in him in a couple of years.
But Greek the freak didn't play
They seemed different last night , they were a lot looser having fun Josh smiling and laughing Jalen Joking with Buck players , they were playing like a contender
Ok now
From a real New Yorker Kool Keith 😎
Jeremy job is not to score
His job is to guard the best player and keep there average down from there normal
And set pick and roles to the whole and rebound well in the crowd
Now
Mo Mo gives you both
And finally they played the right line up and went big
For the first time
Now we still have a problem with the coach he better stop sitting and get and fight most of the calls
Like when kat gets to the whole 2and some time 3 people are smacking his arm and hands
But when we just touch any player there give the call
Now we must fight through those calls
We will need them for the future
Brown finally got it right
He better not change the rotation over again and stay the same
From a real New Yorker Kool Keith 😎
I agree
We will see sochan at the end of the season when he’s needed
LET'S GO KNICKS 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
1) What's Up Troy👍 Listen they need to leave Mr. Mo Diawara alone because he was playing great way before Jeremy Sochan came to the Knicks, and I truly believe he should have stayed in the Lineup from the Jumpstreet because he brings Defense & Rebounds & Great Offense too🏀
2) Sochan was released by the Spurs for a reason I am glad we got him for nothing however he needs to come off the Bench and Diawara gets the 1st Nod to play off the Bench or even Start sometimes because he's been that good. Possibly he could take some minutes away from Bridges too🏀
3) And finally Troy I would like to see if Kawai Leonard becomes available, would you like to see Leonard in a Knicks uniform? I would say he's a proven Champion wherever he goes Troy🏆
4) Also 1 more thing Troy, can the Knicks try to bring back Moses Brown? Also I would like to see Dink Pate play with Brunson & Alvarado🇵🇷
DIEHARD KNICKS FAN SINCE 1981🏀🏀
Sochan should eventually be worked into the rotation but it may take time. I was very confused as to why he attempted not one but two 3s? Thats just not his game
I mean you can call it stole from Sochan Mo did, or the fact that Mike Brown finally understood Mo needs to be in the rotation over Sochan. Now let’s see what Momahed Diawara got along with all the other Knicks in the next 5 games all of them are gonna be tough!
51st pick yall Mo is a literal Diane in the rough and if signed will be starting sooner than later
Mo-D is a better fit than Jeremy
Jeremy needs to learn some offensively skills because he cannot create his own shots so he needs to learn how to shoot
Right now Mo-D is More valuable than Huckperdi who have been in the roster for 3 years .
DiaWARa is ready for WAR
MO earned his time. Sochan time to jell n learn Browns system. Unfortunately today's NBA want players to space the floor n shoot 3s. I believe Brown wants Sochan to shoot 3s.ijs
Mo diawara has a great potential, he looks amazong. So younger, only he IS 20. He can grow Up amd velepo much more, but he can be a great defender Who can defend 1-5 as OG. He can shoot from Deep andmcreate shots in múltiple situations… For me, we has a potential to be a new Anunoby. A ver y good 3 option in a contender team.
I dont think Mo stole the position. It was Scohan's to lose. Coach can see Mo gives shooting, length and defense. Sochan can only give the team defense. I said it before, I wasn't a fan of signing Sochan but we shall see how it goes. Injuries happen and you still might need another wing, even though he isnt a 2way player.
You sound stupid Sochan never had a chance to begin with like wtf you give the kid 3 minutes a game wtf is he supposed to do. Content be delusional @ times like duh
