Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau provided an updated on Julius Randle's ankle surgery.
Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson and shooting guard Josh Hart, both Villanova products, competed for the U.S. team that finished fourth in the FIBA World Cup this summer.“I think it’s great for younger guys when you look at the history with the Olympics, the World Cup and Team USA,” he told NBA.com. “When Derrick Rose came back, that year he won the MVP. He was 22 years old. The fact that it’s a different style, I like that too, because you’re adapting.
“The benefits far outweigh whatever negatives there might be. No one is being taxed to the point where he’s playing 40 minutes. You’re playing roughly half a game. And every player on your team is a great player, so you’re practicing against the best. And doing things you probably wouldn’t be doing in the summer. Yeah, you’d be shooting, you’d be conditioning, but you probably wouldn’t be playing.
“Continuity’s important, and we’re going into Year 4,” Thibodeau said. “We’re young – that’s the best thing about our team, that you can continue to get better. We’re looking forward to the development of the guys we do have. Getting the experience from last year was very beneficial to us, but we have to understand it’s a new year and we start over again.KNICKS PROMOTE ROSAS
