The New York Knicks are in full-on player development mode. They went down 26 in the first half and despite a second-half surge, the Philadelphia 76ers cruised to a relatively easy win in Madison Square Garden. The Knicks drop a franchise-record 18th-straight game.
Watching Knicks games during the second half of the year is a different type of viewing experience. Rather than focusing on the scoreboard, the best way to watch is by keeping tabs on the progress of individual players.
One player that should give the Knicks some hope is Mitchell Robinson. The second-round pick has had an up-and-down season as he struggled through some injury problems and just general inconsistency.
