Knicks ready to ‘do a lot of different things’ in title defense — which could mean some role changes

Following a championship run sparked by tactical adjustments during their first-round series against the Hawks, the Knicks spent their recent practice sessions exploring new offensive schemes. Coach Mike Brown indicated that the squad plans to integrate the playbook that utilized Karl-Anthony Towns as an elbow facilitator from the start of the upcoming season.

Jalen Brunson noted that the team hopes to expand on the approach, which previously helped elevate offensive productivity and alleviate playmaking pressure. Additional adjustments under consideration include utilizing OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges in varied roles beyond corner three-pointers, such as pick-and-roll action and top-of-the-floor sets.
