Mike Brown Faces Reality with Josh Hart's Performance
Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already knew: the team has a problem with Josh Hart that's difficult to fix.
Despite the New York Knicks' struggles, head coach Mike Brown is being praised for the changes he's trying to implement. However, he's also discovering that some issues, or rather, certain players, are unchangeable - like Josh Hart.
Brown's latest reality check came during the Knicks' loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, where Hart played over 26 minutes with a team-worst minus-19. Hart's performance from the floor has been ice-cold, shooting under 43% on twos (3-of-7) and 11.1% from long range (1-of-9) through three appearances this season.
