With Mitchell Robinson out for the year with a broken foot, the Knicks front court depth is very clearly thin. Gone are the days when the Knicks have a glut of bigger forwards. They may actually be well served playing a little smaller to speed up the action. Trying to open the floor just a smidgen for Elfrid Payton and pushing Julius Randle up to the five spot with added shooting could help sustain them if Nerlens Noel or Taj Gibson just don’t have good matchups.
The New York Knicks plan to sign center Norvel Pelle to a 10-day contract this weekend, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
