Overview
- Rookie Mohamed Diawara posted 10 points on 2-of-3 from deep and a game-best +25 in 22 minutes during the Knicks’ 127-98 win over the Bucks on Feb. 27.
- Brown reiterated the rotation remains fluid, saying, “It could be Jeremy tonight. It could be Mo tomorrow night,” and emphasized, “Mo is coming.”
- Sochan’s recent impact has been limited, logging five garbage-time minutes in Milwaukee with two points and two rebounds.
- The signing of Sochan after the trade deadline created a backup-forward competition that has produced alternating minutes and occasional DNPs for Diawara.
- Diawara, a 51st overall pick from France, has emerged as a confident two-way option and reliable three-point shooter near the 40% mark, keeping him in contention for the nine-man template.
