00:00When you look at the Knicks backup center situation with Andre Drummond, are you feeling comfortable for now is what
00:05I'm asking.
00:06I feel as comfortable as going to my mom's friend's apartment with all the plastic on the furniture.
00:13Is it comfortable? It's fine. And I'm used to being there. It's my mom's friend, right?
00:17There's a comfort in that I'm used to being in this home.
00:20Would I prefer to not be on the old couch that has the old plastic on it?
00:25Probably not, but I'll be okay.
00:27Okay, he's doing something that is very important, is that the Knicks are still an elite offensive rebounding team.
00:32They pounded Cleveland on the offensive glass in that win.
00:34In many ways, that's going to be some of their roadmap to getting back to being an elite offensive team.
00:38So for that reason, I'm okay. Okay, he's giving something to the team.
00:42I do think he's become offensively a little bit of a wild card that is a little concerning.
00:47Like you don't know where the ball is going when he's shooting floaters or shots around the basket.
00:51I've never seen as many air balls for like floaters and layups in a short time as Drummond has.
00:56I think Mike Brown's been right when he is not giving the right effort to sit him and be like,
01:00hey, listen, you're not one of these championship guys.
01:02Like those guys, if they lack effort or whatever, maybe, you know, we'll give them a little more rope.
01:06Like you are here to play hard for 10, 15 minutes and you give us two or three steps in
01:11a row.
01:11We're not giving it. We're going to go to somebody else.
01:13I like that he set that tone with Drummond, even though he's a veteran.
01:16But I think I'm comfortable in the sense that there's a place for him to be very important in this
01:21team
01:22with a skill set that he has already displayed.
