The search for minutes men for the Knicks

Anthony Randolph's status remains one of the few, but undeniable issues within the organization. But the head coach right now has one goal in mind, which is to win games. So it's easy to point out the obvious here: the Knicks were 3-8 with Randolph in the rotation and they're 13-4 without him. And if you're asking D'Antoni to focus precious game minutes just to develop one player, then you're not being fair to the rest of the team. If Williams, with a 7-2 wingspan and high basketball IQ, is more effective in those minutes, how do you not play Williams?
From what I know, Randolph is putting in the necessary work. He's obviously annoyed that he's not playing (and shows it when you ask him about it) and it would be far more beneficial for the team if Randolph were playing and, of course contributing positive minutes. He's important to the franchise as an asset, obviously, because you obviously are going to need him if you're ever going to pull off a Carmelo Anthony trade.

Right now the Nuggets see zero value in Randolph. The Knicks can only hope they can move him for a first rounder at this point.

Another big who has quickly receded down the bench is Timofey Mozgov. D'Antoni directly addressed Mozgov's situation at practice when he said, "I thought we might have pushed him too quick, too soon . . . We like him, we're just going a little bit slower with him."
