Tom Thibodeau doesn’t care what the stats — or a popular former Knick and current analyst — say. The Knicks’ recent defensive issues go way beyond RJ Barrett.
While the numbers aren’t fond of Barrett of late on the defensive end, and MSG Network’s Walt “Clyde” Frazier was critical of him during Saturday night’s overtime loss to the Clippers, the Knicks’ coach strongly pushed back in favor of the young wing before“Quite honestly, I look at some of those numbers and they’re meaningless to me,” Thibodeau said. “I haven’t seen a good ratings system yet defensively, and I think I’ve studied it pretty hard for a long time.
In the loss to the Clippers after Barrett fouled Kawhi Leonard on a made shot, Frazier said: “Barrett has the distinction of being the Knicks worst defender, folks. They have all these stats now and he’s the worst guy.”Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
