The Knicks have a well-documented problem with their roster that was only exacerbated by the Carmelo Anthony trade at the end of September: They have too many big men.
With the addition of Enes Kanter, they now have five players who are either centers or should be playing the position. There simply aren’t enough minutes to give Kanter, Willy Hernangomez, Joakim Noah, Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle O’Quinn.
The solution for the short-term will be to play Porzingis at power forward, which is fine since he is already adjusting to being the No. 1 option on offense.
