Mike Brown is quickly realizing what Knicks fans already knew: the team has a Josh Hart problem that's difficult to fix.
Despite the New York Knicks' struggles, head coach Mike Brown is being praised for the changes he's implementing. However, he's also figuring out that some issues, or players, cannot be changed - like Josh Hart.
Hart's performance has been underwhelming, with a team-worst minus-19 in the Knicks' Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. He played over 26 minutes, shooting under 43% on twos (3-of-7) and 11.1% from long range (1-of-9) through three appearances this season.
His rim pressure is down, with only six of his 18 total looks coming from the restricted area this year, compared to over 45% last season.
