[Edwards III]: Knicks depth chart prediction: How will the bench rotation shake out?

Analysis

Mo Diawara will start the season in the rotation This isn’t set in stone. It’s just my gut feeling. If Brown is going to play 10 players every night, we know the starters will make up the first five. We can confidently pencil in Landry Shamet, Miles “Deuce” McBride, Andre Drummond and Jose Alvarado behind them. To me, the 10th spot comes down to Jordan Clarkson and Diawara. Clarkson feels like a “break glass in case of emergency” option this season. He’s a pro’s pro, and I don’t worry about h...

2 Underrated Bulls Players Making a Strong Impression in Preseason

Analysis

Miller had 26 points and 7 boards on 11-of-14 shooting against Denver, including 4-of-6 from three. SI notes that he already seems to be getting the nod ahead of Patrick Williams in Splitter’s rotation. And once again, Williams is the 4th-highest paid player on the team at $18M this year, with the same money coming the next two seasons.
