Guard Miles McBride expressed confidence on January 8, 2026, that he can address what he called the New York Knicks’ most glaring shortcoming. In comments published by the New York Post, the third-year player said his skill set aligns with the team’s immediate needs and that he is prepared to step in whenever head coach Tom Thibodeau calls his number.
The report did not detail the specific weakness McBride intends to solve, but the 23-year-old emphasized that he has been working daily to ensure he is ready to contribute on both ends of the floor. He added that staying prepared has been his focus throughout the season and that he believes his energy can make a noticeable impact.
McBride, selected by the Knicks with the 36th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has appeared intermittently this season, often providing a defensive spark off the bench. He told the newspaper that his goal is to carve out a larger role as New York pushes toward the midpoint of the schedule.
