Mike Brown Faces Reality with Josh Hart's Performance
Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already know: the team has a problem with Josh Hart that's difficult to fix.
Despite the changes implemented by the new head coach, the Knicks continue to struggle, and Hart's performance is a significant concern. In the team's recent loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Hart played over 26 minutes and was a team-worst minus-19, with a poor shooting performance.
- Shooting under 43 percent on twos (3-of-7)
- Shooting 11.1 percent from long range (1-of-9)
- Rim pressure is down, with only six of his 18 total looks coming from the restricted area
Mike Brown is largely being lauded for the changes he’s attempting to implement, but he’s also quickly figuring out there are certain issues, or rather, certain players, he cannot change—like Josh Hart.
