Mike Brown's Reality Check
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 change in head coach, the Knicks continue to struggle with Hart's performance. In their Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Hart played over 26 minutes and was a team-worst minus-19.
- Hart is shooting under 43 percent on twos (3-of-7)
- Hart is shooting 11.1 percent 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 he’s also quickly figuring out there are certain issues, or rather, certain players, he cannot change—like Josh Hart.
