These bad people have Luke Kornet on their team! They stole our sweet shooting, rim protecting large best friend. They don’t deserve such a fantastic BFG. Why can’t the Knicks hold on to some of these cool guys? Oh to re-sign a rookie, what must it be like?
As much as I want him back for Mitch’s Block Party, the newly acquired John Henson and Norvel Pelle offer a bit more mobility on defense and that sweet bouncy finishing at the rim. That duo isn’t specifically the style of player I’d try to pair with RJ Barrett and Julius Randle (or Obi Toppin but that’s another story) but they’re talented and they fit what Tom Thibodeau wants at the five spot about as cleanly as you could hope for this late in the season.
