Mohamed Diawara showing why he deserves extended Knicks look
NY Post
ORLANDO, Fla. — Mohamed Diawara, the 20-year-old rookie from France, has received spot minutes in the Knicks rotation and is in the line for more.
With OG Anunoby sidelined with a strained groin, Diawara was subbed into the first halves of the last two games — a loss Monday to the Heat, then a win Wednesday over the Mavericks.
It was a surprise maneuver from coach Mike Brown, if only because Diawara had previously only logged garbage-time minutes and Pacôme Dadiet has been touted as the greater prospect.
But Dadiet continues to log DNPs and Brown said Diawara deserves a longer look.
“I would’ve loved to play Mo out there a little longer,” Brown said after Diawara recorded two minutes in Wednesday’s 113-111 victory over the Mavericks. “Mo has done a great job in short minutes he played and to try to get him some minutes during this time of year, especially while OG is out, to keep us long and athletic would be ideal. And I’m going to keep searching to try to do it.”
Anunoby, a defensive-minded forward, strained his hamstring Monday and is out until at least Dec. 1, and likely longer. Landry Shamet has started in Anunoby’s spot, leaving Josh Hart and Guerschon Yabusele as the top backup forwards.
