Derrick Rose made a promise to Miles McBride and those closest to him over Thanksgiving dinner a year ago.
“It’s my job to steer him in the right direction, which I told his mom and his family,” the veteran guard recalled. “It’s bigger than basketball.” If anything, Rose is doing even more to help McBride as he begins to emerge as a key piece off the bench for coach Tom Thibodeau’s team. He frequently checks in with McBride, reminding him to take care of his body, particularly with his recent spike in minutes.
The Knicks haven’t lost since, and McBride has played a role in this run. He’s only averaging 4.8 points in 20.4 minutes in the streak, but his defense has been essential as the Knicks have vastly improved of late on that end of the floor — his defensive rating in those contests is an elite 87.6 per 100 possessions — and he has shot the ball well from deep, hitting 6 of 13 3-point attempts over the last four games.
