According to previous reports, Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is expected to miss the early stages of next season.
In response to this, NBA reporter Tim Bontemps discussed it on the show “NBA Today.”
Bontemps stated: “Previously, Thibodeau indicated that he would have Randle play some time at the center position. However, as I mentioned before, this is not something Thibodeau excels at in his career. He prefers having a big center who can protect the rim as the defensive anchor of the team. As we all know, Thibodeau is one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA in recent years. Therefore, entering the new season with so many wing players, the Knicks have many players capable of playing small ball. If the Knicks are unable to take any measures to strengthen the center position in the short term, they will have to rely on a small ball lineup to get through this phase.”
