Overview

• After Wednesday’s practice, Brown said Bridges will alternate between point-of-attack duties and chasing shooters based on nightly matchups.
• The Knicks are installing a more aggressive defense intended to create turnovers and ignite a transition-heavy offense.
• Brown described Bridges as one of the league’s fastest runners who can stretch the floor in early offense and finish before defenses set.
• To refine his role, New York added assistants with Phoenix ties, including Ricardo Fois and Mark Bryant, who worked with Bridges earlier in his career.
• The flexible plan also gives Brown options to reposition Jalen Brunson and others, a shift that follows last season’s taxing screen navigation load for Bridges.
