Hubie Brown says the Knicks may need more than just a solid head coach to turn around their fortunes next season.
Brown, ESPN Radio analyst who will work the NBA Finals, believes the surprising hiring of Hornacek will bring “accountability” and a potentially more exciting offense to the Knicks. But the club needs roster upgrades following a 32-50 season — third worst in the East.
The Knicks will officially name Hornacek their new head coach this week, perhaps as early as Tuesday, with a press conference likely Friday.
“The hiring of anybody taking over a bad team that has limited talent and needs definite additions at key positions, you have to be lucky and fortunate that the players who are there can buy into the system and give it 100 [percent] every single night,’’ Brown told The Post over the weekend at the Western Conference Finals in Oklahoma City.
