Mike Brown's Reality Check
Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already know: the team has a problem with Josh Hart that's difficult to fix.
Despite struggling, head coach Mike Brown is being praised for the changes he's attempting to implement. However, he's also figuring out that some issues, or players, cannot be changed - like Josh Hart.
Hart's latest performance was a team-worst minus-19 in a little over 26 minutes during the Knicks' loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. He's now shooting under 43 percent on twos and 11.1 percent from long range through three appearances this season.
His rim pressure is down, with just six of his 18 total looks coming from the restricted area this year, compared to over 45 percent last season.
