 Karl-Anthony Towns' impact on the New York Knicks has been a mix of positives and negatives. On one hand, he's improved the offense with his scoring production, averaging 26.8 points per game, and shot-making ability from three (50%) and mid-range (43.8%). His pick-and-roll proficiency with Jalen Brunson has also been effective. However, defensively, Towns has struggled, particularly in drop coverage, where he leaves his feet but lacks the speed to recover, resulting in a significant drop-off in defensive rating when on the floor. To address this, Tom Thibodeau is considering alternative lineups and personnel changes.
