Josh Hart said he is prepared to come off the bench if that is what’s best for the New York Knicks, as coach Mike Brown opens the door to a deeper rotation ahead of training camp. Brown said the starting group will materialize throughout camp and cautioned it’s too early to lock in a lineup. The front office did a fantastic job putting together a talented and deep roster, and so you have to have a methodical approach when it comes to saying, 'Hey these guys are going to start.'
Four of the Knicks’ expected starters are locked in: Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns. The fifth starter remains unsettled, with Hart the incumbent but not a lock to return. Mitchell Robinson, Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele are among other logical options to start.
