00:00The number one thing is the Knicks have to either upgrade the backup center position
00:03or Andre Drummond has to shine.
00:05If Andre Drummond shines defensively, great foul money.
00:10You're good.
00:11If Andre Drummond struggles, defensively that is,
00:15the Knicks are going to have to upgrade that position
00:17because if they don't, I do think that's a problem.
00:19You have until February with this.
00:21You got time.
00:22And then from there you'll see.
00:23And I think even if he's good and holds down the spot,
00:25they'll probably get somebody else to fortify that spot.
00:28Maybe they have a two-way between now and then.
00:31I don't know what's going to happen.
00:33If Cat gets injured, which obviously, knock on wood, you don't want that to happen.
00:37Big shoes to fill.
00:38I know Mitchell Robinson was imperfect and played limited minutes the last few seasons,
00:44but he did play 60 games last year.
00:4660, which is significant.
00:48And he played 20 minutes a game during the regular season
00:50where we weren't sure if it was going to be more than maybe 15 to 18 minutes.
00:54He ended up playing 20 minutes a game.
00:56There were a bunch of starts in there as well because they did experiment with that.
00:59He started 16 games last year.
01:01Andre Drummond last year played about the same amount of minutes,
01:04about the same amount of games.
01:0563 games, 25 starts to 16 starts, 19 and a half minutes per game.
01:10And you guys saw in the playoffs, it was an adventure defensively.
01:13Whoever the center is on this roster,
01:16the other teams are going to attack them,
01:18whether it's Carl Anthony Towns, whether it's Andre Drummond.
01:20But I am going to be in the playoffs.
