Mike Brown's Reality Check with the Knicks
Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already knew: the team has a Josh Hart problem that's difficult to fix.
Despite the changes Brown is attempting to implement, Hart's performance continues to be a concern. In the Knicks' Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Hart played over 26 minutes and was a team-worst minus-19.
Hart's shooting percentages are also a concern, with him shooting under 43 percent on twos (3-of-7) and 11.1 percent from long range (1-of-9) through three appearances this season.
His rim pressure is down, with only six of his 18 total looks coming from the restricted area this year, compared to over 45 percent last season.
Brown's latest reality check highlights the challenges he faces in addressing the team's issues, particularly with regards to Hart's performance.
