| The holidays got in the way so this raking will cover two weeks and 6 games. Unfortunately 4 of those games are losses and injuries are finally playing a factor. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Hardaway Jr., Tim | Well I didn’t see this coming. Hardaway has kicked it up a couple notches since last rankings. He’s still inconsistent but in addition to scoring he’s been rebounding and assisting at an impressive rate. | 3 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Porzingis shot has still been way off since it came out that his elbow has been injured. Still he’s been averaging over 20ppg and is still the prohibitive favorite among the most improved players 1/4 through the season. | 1 |
| 3 | Lee, Courtney | Other than the first Raptors game Lee has played well. On a team of inconsistent players the consistency has been appreciated. | 2 |
| 4 | Jack, Jarrett | Jack had a 14 assist game this week. It was in a loss to the Hawks, but still. | 6 |
| 5 | O’Quinn, Kyle | O’Quinn isn’t the best player but man is he fun to watch. Gotta love his energy. | 8 |
| 6 | Kanter, Enes | The Knicks have a lot of big guys but not a lot of good ones. This was really apparent when Kanter went down. Bonus points for trolling LeBron. | 5 |
| 7 | McDermott, Doug | Can’t put all the blame on McDermott but his +/- this week raises all the eyebrows. | 7 |
| 8 | Beasley, Michael | Beasley had 24 points at the half against the Rockets. In the 2nd half he showed why so many teams gave up on him. He didn’t even cross half court on a couple defensive stints. | 11 |
| 9 | Ntilikina, Frank | Frank had a rough couple weeks. He’s looked out of his element lately. Coach seems to notice too, his minutes are way down. | 4 |
| 10 | Thomas, Lance | Meh | 9 |
| 11 | Dotson, Damyean | Didn’t get to see much of Damyean lately. | 10 |
| 12 | Noah, Joakim | 3 minutes in the last 2 weeks. Noah is going to get run in Westchester this week, that’s the way to slowly bring him back. I like it. | 12 |
| 13 | Baker, Ron | Baker is also playing in Westchester this week. If you’re doing the math that’s over $20 million in salary playing in Westchester instead of MSG. | 14 |
| 14 | Hernangomez, Willy | Willy has been so bad I went from ‘the Knicks have too many big men’ to ‘I wonder what Luke Kornet is up to?’ | 13 |
| 15 | Sessions, Ramon | Nothing to see here. | 15 |
