Mike Brown starting to make adjustments for struggling Karl-Anthony Towns

Mike Brown and Karl-Anthony Towns have repeatedly been adamant that Towns has a bigger adjustment than anyone to Brown’s system. But Brown has begun adjusting the system to Towns. “He’s getting more comfortable,” Brown said after practice Friday.“But also, too, I’ve had to make some adjustments to help him out, make it a little easier for him, which I’ve done. “It’s in the different play calls and actions that we do.

We’ve made the adjustments to try and make it a little easier for him and to try and put him in positions that will help him get into stuff quicker.” Towns’ production is down across the board this year under Brown compared to last year under Tom Thibodeau. Josh Hart, who plays an important role as the Knicks’ facilitator in getting Towns involved, thinks it works both ways. “It’s a little different,” Hart said Friday.“But we’re basketball players, we’ve got to be able to adapt to different situations.

I think coaches have to adapt to their players and we have to adapt to coaches.I think there’s a good middle ground.

Sometimes, we’re still trying to figure that out. “At the end of the day, he’s a good offensive player, he’s going to figure that out.We’ve got to make sure we focus on defense.

I don’t want to hear too much about his touches, I want to hear about him blocking shots.” Guerschon Yabusele, whom The Post reported Wednesday the Knicks are in active talks to trade, seems to be hinting at a departure on X. “Whatever happens tomorrow, I’m extremely blessed to be in the position that I am today,” Yabusele wrote in a since-deleted post Thursday night.“Minor setback for major comeback that’s my favorite.

Love y’all.”  Sign up for Inside the Knicks by Stefan Bondy, a weekly exclusive on Sports+.Please provide a valid email.
