Is Karl-Anthony Towns the Knicks’ Golden Ticket—or Their Biggest Dilemma?
The Knicks are stuck without great options because of how well the Pacers exploit any liability, but they should at least try playing Robinson and Towns together more and hope the advantages they provide on offense will make up for the awkward defensive fit. Towns is a great scorer and constantly forces help when he gets close to the lane. That provides more offensive rebounding windows for Robinson. There’s enough playmaking around them to make it work on that end and cause issues for the Pacers defense, and they can force Siakam to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end when he has to guard a big.
