Several players on the Knicks likely will have to sacrifice playing time to accommodate the addition of Josh Hart.
Quentin Grimes did not see many minutes in the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ loss to the 76ers on Saturday.Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post“Josh gave us a little extra bit of boost, I feel like just his presence, his energy,” Quickley said after the game. “Everywhere he goes, he’s a winner, even from college [at Villanova], so it was good to be able to play with him. He fits right in.
Hart, who was acquired Wednesday night from Portland, played more than 25 minutes and finished with 11 points, seven rebounds , four assists and four steals. “He was all over the floor for us tonight. … It was a great pickup,” said RJ Barrett, who scored 17 of his 20 points after halftime. “Basketball is not hard, I don’t feel like, if you know what you’re doing out there,” Quickley added. “If you’re a winner, you play defense and you can score. That’s basketball. Try to score and try to stop the other team from scoring, and he does that at a high level. You can fit on any [team] if you can do that. And he’s a great character person, as well.”
