It might be unfair to fully judge a Knicks team missing a starter (OG Anunoby — foot) and a key rotation piece (Mitchell Robinson — ankle), but

The Knicks now face a decision — give Hukporti an actual shot to prove himself over the next 28 games, or phase him out entirely. While foul trouble has been an issue, the coaching staff must decide if they are willing to develop him further or lean more heavily on their veterans in the playoff push.
