Mike Brown's Reality Check with the Knicks
Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already knew: the team has a problem with Josh Hart that's difficult to fix.
Despite the changes Brown is attempting to implement, Hart's performance continues to be a concern. In the Knicks' Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Hart played over 26 minutes and was a team-worst minus-19, with a poor shooting performance from the floor.
- Through three appearances this season, Hart is shooting under 43% on twos (3-of-7).
- He is shooting 11.1% from long range (1-of-9).
- His rim pressure is down, with only six of his 18 total looks coming from the restricted area this year.
Mike Brown is largely being lauded for the changes he’s attempting to implement, but certain issues, or rather, certain players, he cannot change—like Josh Hart.
