Team Profile:
The Knicks are basically the same team they were, after adding DiVincenzo who is an excellent role player, but they are still miles away from the first-tier East teams- Boston and Milwaukee – and are at most the fifth, although I have them seventh, in the conference. The Knicks have zero chance to win more than a playoff series. I like Barrett and Brunson a lot. and the club’s bench is elite, but the big men are pretty meh. Robinson plays his role perfectly at the five, but he is limited. And for as many points as he scores, Randle has not proven to be the main guy on a winner. Plus, the Knicks have no true star, no matter how fun Brunson is. New York’s season will be pretty much the same.
Player Profile:
Immanuel Quickey randomly jumped into a starring role, where he was a star reserve guard. He gave the Knicks huge scoring in the second unit, increasing his efficiency and proving solid playmaking. He could improve again in his fourth season, making him a core player.
