Obi Toppin is one of the most popular players of the Knicks fans. However, Toppin is currently looking for greater consistency and continuity.
Probably this lack of continuity derives from the little playing time that Tom Thibodeau is reserving for him. A situation that still puts Thibodeau in the crosshairs for his decisions.
The Knicks coach, after the game against the Cavaliers, limited himself to saying that he is very confident in Toppin’s abilities and that his diligence will help him change things.
Right now Thibodeau prefers Randle to Toppin. At this point, Toppin could only establish himself in the Knicks if Randle is traded. It has been talked about for a long time, about a possible trade by Randle. We don’t know what will happen, but Thibodeau’s handling of Toppin is controversial.
