Cause he's really quick when he's at full strength on his, on his second jump defensively. I don't think he's already all the way there either. That being said, um, There have been tons of moments where guys have come into the lane, he's rotated over promptly, and a shot just hasn't gone up. They've just chosen not to go for the layup.

And you know if Karl-Anthony Towns is that guy, that rotation might be coming a little bit later. Or maybe if Towns even hits it promptly, guys just aren't scared of him. They're still putting up the layup, and there's a decent chance that's still going to go in because it's a layup, and they're not going to feel deterred by it.

So I do think he's been a net positive in that sense, and I do think the Knicks... Are trying to get to a place to where if Mitchell Robinson can look like himself, even if it's for only 15, 20 minutes a game, I think they would love to be able to get to a place where they could play him and Carl Anthony Towns together somewhat regularly.

And then all of a sudden you've got a rim protector behind Towns and that changes their defensive dynamic.

Without question. And I think until that Warriors game the other night, I would actually say he's been struggling of late. You know, he hurt his knee late in the game a few weeks ago, and he hasn't quite looked the same ever since hurting the knee. The shot has been off, finishing around the rim has been off. He's had stretches where he's kind of just not really touched the ball much during games.

He hasn't really looked like the... Guy who was making a case for first team All-NBA in the early part of the year. I'm not saying he's fallen out of the All-NBA conversation. He just hasn't played at that level until that Warriors game. He got into foul trouble in the Warriors game. I thought it was fantastic in that game.

Otherwise, first play of the game, it was just pump fake to the hoop and slam it in. He was insanely aggressive on the offensive boards. He was insanely aggressive attacking the rim the entire time through. That's kind of what they need. They've been trying to get him post-ups a lot. That's something they've been going to more often.
