Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks: A Star at Crossroads—What’s Next for New York’s Future?
This is simple miscommunication that seems to be Robinsonâs fault at first glance but is mostly on Payne for jumping out to Siakam like he was going to guard him and then bailing. Payneâs off-ball defense was a constant issue during his playing time that had nothing to do with him sharing the floor with Robinson and Towns.
Payne also has shot 2 for 10 through two games of this series. The Knicksâ rotation is already down to eight players, but they might need to lean on their top seven even more and cut Payneâs minutes altogether. If not, Thibodeau should at least have a very quick hook for him.
