One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
13. New York Knicks (10)
Key additions (including re-signs):
Key subtractions:
- Donte DiVincenzo (Golden State)
Pressing question: What’s the next evolution for this Knicks team?
- Derrick Rose (Memphis)
- Obi Toppin (Indiana)
The Knicks went into this offseason and decided they’re pretty much good where they are. They had a fun first-round destruction of the Cavs before they got smacked by Miami. They believe Jalen Brunson is their star and Julius Randle can be his No. 2. I’m just not certain their ceiling actually goes beyond what we saw last season. They have depth and an identity, which is more than you can say for most teams. I just wonder if this squad is capable of evolving further or if they’re just waiting for a disgruntled star to become available. We don’t hear a lot about the Knicks pursuing the big guns. Maybe we should again.
^The Atheletic Power Guide for the Knicks. They have the Knicks at 13 (down from 10) behind the Cavs and Kings. I actually think they are still in the top 10, at lot will depend on if the homegrown kids can take another step in their development. The only real question is who plays PF 13 minutes a night and that might just be Hart.
