Part 4/8:
The conversation shifted towards the on-court chemistry between Towns and center Mitchell Robinson. Despite minimal playing time together so far, there are high hopes for their combined impact on both offense and defense as the season progresses. Troy expressed optimism, suggesting that establishing chemistry between the two players, particularly as they gear up for the playoffs, could yield significant defensive advantages.
However, Bontemps offered a more cautious perspective, arguing that while Robinson adds depth and size, he does not fundamentally change the Knicks' prospects against elite teams, particularly the Boston Celtics, who have proven to be a daunting matchup for New York this season.
