Many questions were posed about the 2024-25 Knicks entering Opening Night in October.
Many of them were answered quickly, but one stayed in the back of everyone’s minds for four months as the Knicks looked to become whole.
“Could KAT and Mitch play together?”
Mitchell Robinson, the longest-tenured Knick, didn’t make his season debut until February 28th. His unavailability, coupled with the departure of Isaiah Hartenstein, likely led to the Knicks’ brass pulling the trigger on a longtime trade target in Karl-Anthony Towns to start at center.
However, the big question was whether KAT would revert to playing center full time or eventually return to his role in Minnesota, where he played as a stretch four next to an elite rim protector to compensate for his shortcomings.
