Ian Begley talks OG Anunoby’s return for the Knicks and Josh Hart’s value | SportsNite | SNY

Time now for inside out as SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley joins us from the garden in Eden. We can all look at the box score and see that OG and an OB was a ridiculous plus 28, but as someone who’s always around this team,

What intangibles did he add that one might not see on the stat sheet. Well one is that he restores order to a degree him back in that starting lineup allows precious to Chua to come back off. The bench precious was very good while these guys were

Hurt. He was getting starters minutes, but he was also great Off the Bench against Philadelphia and I think he’ll continue to thrive in that role. So in a nobody allows everybody to get back to their normal spot and it also allows the next I think take some more

Chances on defense. They know they have in a no be there to match up against the top. Perimeter player the opponent I think it makes everybody a little more confident on the defensive end. So plenty of intangibles there and the points that he puts up the steals that he gets. So

A lot of impact from an OB on his first night back. Yes, certainly. No doubt about that. All right. We just heard Tom Thibodeau say Josh Hart was incredible as he becomes the sixth Nick to have at least four triple-doubles in one season in this one certainly was a stat sheet stuffer.

Not only did he go for 2019 and 10 in but he also made Tom Thibodeau laughs. So, how do you perspective Hearts value to this team You know what? I think some Knick fans were upset about the contract that heart had signed the extension in the offseason,

Especially early on in the season when he wasn’t really hitting shots, but it’s beyond that with Josh Hart has value extends Beyond making her missing three pointers. I think the way he plays the intensity he plays with and the belief he has in both himself and his teammates. It’s a big part of

Why this group has just a confidence in itself. No matter who’s in the lineup. Who’s out of the lineup? No matter who the opponent is. I feel like this group every night feels like it has a good chance to win games and hearts presence and his approach is a big part of that.

Alright, so OG now back for this club. What’s the latest on Julius Randle in Mitchell Robinson’s possible returns. It Julius Randle still has not been cleared for full contacts. He’s doing basically everything else. He’s taking kind of controlled contact with a coach but he’s not five-on-five

Scrimmaging. He’s not taking contact in that sense. So that’s the next hurdle for him. And I think there’s some, you know people wondering why he hadn’t been cleared yet. I think the Knicks are taking their time. Julius is going to take his time. I don’t think anybody though has come to

The conclusion that he is unlike it is unlikely to come back I think. Going still going to return this season. It’s just a matter of when Mitchell Robinson will be taking contact soon. Tom Thibodeau said he said Robinson’s making some really good progress. So once you hear

That Robinson’s on the court scrimmaging five-on-five, you know, he’s getting closer to coming back. Alrighty, and they now pack their bags for four game Road Trip starting Thursday in Portland. Thanks for joining us here on Honda Sports night.
