The New York Knicks essentially went all-in with their trade for Karl-Anthony Towns. Now there is a lot of pressure on Towns to not only deliver on the offensive end, but also to elevate his game defensively. Under Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks have almost always deployed a classic, rim-protecting center. In Towns, the Knicks could a spread five who could make them dynamic on offense, but he has never been a defender of the caliber of Mitchell Robinson or Isaiah Hartenstein.
