The Knicks made their team defense better and three-point shooting better with the addition of OG Anunoby. However, they lost two rotational players in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley in the trade. OG Anunoby pretty seamlessly has fit into the starting lineup, playing in similar role as RJ Barrett did. However, Immanuel Quickley’s departure takes a ball handler out of the rotation, and specifically one who was a key part of the Knicks’ bench.

We are going to discuss a player who should get less playing time for the Knicks, and that is a bit of a tough question to answer with the rotation having a bit of a small sample size with this current roster. However, when taking into account the changes in the lineup that have taken place since the Anunoby trade in regards to RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley leaving the team, there is one player that stands out who has gotten a bigger role.

Let’s get into the one Knicks player who should lose minutes.

Miles McBride should get less minutes for the Knicks

As a result of Quickley leaving in the Anunoby trade, Miles McBride has gotten a much larger role over the last couple of weeks for the Knicks. He has put up some good performances, notably against the Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies, when he shot well from three. He also provides a defensive spark off of the bench.
