If this is truly the case.
Start Lance Thomas. 3 n D guy.
Low usage player.
Plays defense.
Catch and shoot.
Will allow others to grow.
Melo can come off the bench or have many DNP games. Just the right thing to do in a rebuild.
Knicks definitely upgraded with adding THJ, Beasley and Sessions. The young additions also bring something new to the table IMO. Nitty and Dotson could be more productive 2 Way guys than we had at the end of the rotations last year. One thing I do expect is more Max Effort and Dedication to Execution of the plan. Certainly going to need young players to step up to the next level. Baker, Kuz and LT will need to be WAY more efficient.
