Brunson-IQ-Barrett-Hart-Robinson
It’s almost a cheat code when it’s rolling. You have a small-ball fast lineup but with Mitch and Hart you know the rebounding on both ends will still be top-notch. This type of group gets very little run because Randle and Toppin see 99% of PF minutes, but it’s a really good group. Hart is like our draymond the way he is used as a utility player on both ends. I want Randle healthy and Toppin has been really good in his minutes so it’s not something we really want to see much for that reason, but when we have to use it, it’s one of the most unique line-ups in the nba.
Can definitely see it used vs. Miami, who is not afraid to play Butler at PF (and sticking him on Randle). We've got a very versatile roster. The Mitch/Hart chemistry crashing the boards was exciting to watch.

It's an almost smallball lineup but with Mitch and body beaters in Hart and RJ. Throw Grimes in there and even McBride can get a hot minute in that lineup.
Knicks are incredibly flexible team. Go big, go small'ish, go smaller with iHart instead of Big Mitch and get all pass-y.
