One of the few issues with building a roster with depth is finding minutes for every player in the rotation. Quality players are often forced to sit for extended periods of time when their teammates are performing at a higher level.
As the New York Knicks begin to craft their interior combinations, that’s left a pair of promising young big men as the odd men out.
Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah are the starters at power forward and center, and Kyle O’Quinn and Willy Hernangomez have received big minutes as their backups. Carmelo Anthony and Lance Thomas have also spent time at the 4, which has left little time for others to play.
