The Knicks handled business on Monday night with a win over the Hornets, in which they led by as many as 29 on the road despite missing three starters in Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson.
For Keith, even against a bad team, New York dominating on the road without two of their most valuable players further highlights the balance of this team, which is their greatest strength.
"This is one of the better Knicks teams you've ever seen. Emphasis on team," Keith said. "You still have Jalen Brunson, who will be named as an All-Star reserve coming up. But you look at guys like Precious Achiuwa…he gave you some good minutes. Then you're looking at Donte DiVincenzo…plus 24, 28 points, comes out there shooting."
Randle is one of the team's biggest contributors in terms of points, rebounds, and minutes, while Anunoby's arrival has been one of the more impactful additions in recent memory. But even without them, others stepped up in their place.
That bodes well for a potential playoff run.
"They have enough guys," Keith said. "Miles McBride, the Deuce is loose."
