Drummond is not the 6th man for the Knicks!

If he's not, then they don't have a 6-man rotation that makes sense because no one else can play center. Contenders almost always have a coherent 6-man rotation.

I guess OG and Hart could combine forces to approximate a big. Who is their 6th then?

It’s hard to say. It was 6 by committee last season. Shamet, Clarkson, McBride all gave solid minutes. Robinson out and Drummond in. Robinson gave solid minutes at center but when I think of a 6 man I think offense. Someone who can get a bucket. Robinson didn’t get many buckets

I'm not talking about exactly the same thing as a regular season 6th man. A lot of teams close with their 6th man on the court.

I'm talking about whichever of the 6 most important guys is on the bench at the end but plays significant minutes.

Okay so not guys who would be nominated for the 6th man award but a key piece who plays a critical role. In that case yes Robinson was a major piece in the rotation. Hopefully Drummond can fill that rol.

reply

Yeah, Robinson was definitely it last year but I'm not sure Drummond will be.

reply

Yeah he’s not a dog on the boards like Robinson. I like how you got the Knicks 3rd. I do think Detroit is a problem but Boston got worse. Philly will have egos to manage.

Better believe we talked about Philly last night

Ahh I’m making my way lol great discussion on Tim Brown. Unlike bell I do think Brown was a great WR
