The latest lineup adjustments of the Knicks, Mike Brown s rotation strategy and other dynamics

. If Brown arranges Towns to fight side by side with four shooters most of the time, it will be more difficult for the defense to block the offensive passage. Will expanding the rotation to 10 players affect the rhythm and output of players such as Brunson, Towns and Hart?

In almost every game last season, players were aware of their playing time, their teammates and the pros and cons of different lineups. If Brown does use a 10-man rotation, these factors may become more unpredictable. Some players may fluctuate their pace and data, but good players can usually adapt to this change - the three above are just such players.

But I still doubt whether Brown will insist on the 10-man rotation. Although I personally prefer this plan, the team's defensive risks in the new season worry me (shortening rotation may be alleviated): Clarkson's defense is relegated compared to Deron Wright and even Cameron Payne; Yabuselle's defense is still good but not as good as Presches Achouva; Brogden became a reliable defender at his peak with a rare strong physique among defenders, but now he is 32 years old and has suffered serious injuries to his lower limbs many times; although McBride is a strong player with a ball defense, his performance last season was not at the top level.

I am curious how Brown will allocate the lineup, after all, many players in the team who are expected to be the main players have a lower defense level than the league average.
