Knicks winning percentage when Isaiah Hicks plays 20 or more minutes: 1.000
Knicks winning percentage when Isaiah hicks plays fewer than 20 minutes: does it even matter when the first statistic is so incredible? Just give the man some minutes. God damn.
The Hornets didn’t have an answer for anything the Knicks did in this game, including the stuff that Hicks was doing. He hit all of his shots, set career-highs across the board (except in blocks), and showed why he is a part of the Knicks’ future. Possibly only 10 or so more games of the Knicks’ future, but that still counts, doesn’t it?
Not to rag on him right after he had his best game ever, but he looks a little tubby to me. And tubby players don’t often work out in the NBA. He already knows this, I’m sure. But that thumbnail is almost startling.
