Miles McBride confident he can solve Knicks’ most glaring weakness
The Knicks’ biggest weakness right now is where Miles McBride is confident he can help out and be elite.
“I know I can be one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the NBA,” McBride said after the Knicks’ 123-111 win over the Clippers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. “I believe in myself, I believe that guarding really gets us going, gets us out in transition, which we did throughout the second half, which was really big for us.”
A lack of a strong point-of-attack defender was again glaring during the Knicks’ four-game skid, when their defense as a whole fell apart. Mikal Bridges, perhaps miscast in that role, has struggled the last two years with that responsibility. He and OG Anunoby are better on the wing and acting as help defenders rather than getting matched up on smaller, quicker ball handlers initiating the offense. Jalen Brunson’s defensive shortcomings are well-documented, with the Knicks usually trying to hide him on opponents’ least threatening scorers.

Knicks just received a message from Deuce McBride they can't ignore
As countless trade rumors and ideas continue to have the New York Knicks targeting point-of-attack defense, Deuce McBride has something he’d like the front office to know: This team already has a premier pest at the point of attack.
“I know I can be one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the NBA,” the 25-year-old said after the Knicks’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, per the New York Post’s Jared Schwartz.
Relative to who New York has on its roster, McBride’s defense is irreplaceable. It’s why Mike Brown (finally) gave him another crack at starting.
