2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 13
The Knicks went 2-2 this week. That’s OK, but losing to Brooklyn and needing double overtime to beat the ’76ers isn’t good. I guess it could have been worse, and there were some nice performances in Melo’s 2 game absence.
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Afflalo, Arron | 3 really nice games for Arron this week. We’ll ignore the Grizzlies game. The Knicks win almost every time Arron scores over 20 points. | 2 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Porzingis has had good shooting nights more often than not lately. It looks like stamina is the only thing holding him back, which is understandable since he has already played more minutes than all of last season. | 3 |
| 3 | Anthony, Carmelo | If anyone was wondering just how important Melo is to this team, the Nets game should be a good indication. The Knicks can’t even beat the dregs of the league without Melo. | 1 |
| 4 | Williams, Derrick | Williams was one of the only guys who showed against Brooklyn. Not sure why his minutes fluctuate so much (defense? Shot selection?) but he puts up great numbers when he plays more than 20. | 5 |
| 5 | Lopez, Robin | I still can’t figure out why sometimes Robin looks like he has some offense and sometimes he looks like Dennis Rodman on offense. Continue reading |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 12
It looks like that embarrassment against the Bulls on the 1st really rallied this team. A 3 and 1 week with the one loss being a missed 3 at the buzzer, which would have made the Knicks the first team to beat the Spurs at home all season.
Episode 322: Suddenly Good
Marc and Jay talk about the last 4 games, Derek Fisher seems to be learning, the last beast report, trade scenarios, Calderons increasing value, and much more
2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 11
| Interesting week, two nice wins against the Pistons and Hawks. Oh, and a 4th quarter against the Bulls that was the Knicks lowest scoring 4th quarter. Ever. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Anthony, Carmelo | Melo is still #1 in the rankings but I am a little disturbed by the lack of free throws Melo got this week. 7 in 3 games is not ideal. On the plus side, the Knicks seem to win when Melo has 5 or more assists, something he did in both wins this week. | 1 |
| 2 | Afflalo, Arron | Arron had to get a top 2 spot for his ridiculous game against Atlanta. 38 points on 14-17 shooting. Beautiful. | 5 |
| 3 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Two months into the NBA season and Porzingis has 2 rookie of the month awards. So much for all that talk about not being effective for a few years. | 2 |
| 4 | Lopez, Robin | Robin Lopez continues his streak of good games with a 6 block game against Detroit and a 16 point game against Atlanta. | 4 |
| 5 | Williams, Derrick | Even if he sucks the rest of the season, we’ll always have that 4th quarter in Detroit. Continue reading | |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 10
| Pretty crappy week overall. 0-3 and somehow the closest game was the game against Cleveland sans Melo. Hopefully the Knicks new years resolution is to not look terrible. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Anthony, Carmelo | Melo only played in 2 of the 3 games this week, but the games he did play in he looked like a star yet again. Hopefully the last 10 games is the Melo we’ll get most of the season and not the Melo from the first 15-20 games. | 1 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Yes, he had a stinker vs Atlanta, but looked good in the other two games. His shot is going to start to fall soon and then he’s going to be unstoppable. | 6 |
| 3 | Thomas, Lance | I can’t believe Lance Thomas turned into our best bench player. The Knicks still have a 2019 2nd rounder coming from Cleveland. That Shumpert and JR trade looks better every day. | 2 |
| 4 | Lopez, Robin | Maybe getting owned by Vucevic knocked some sense into Robin, as he looked much better this week. | 8 |
| 5 | Afflalo, Arron | Arron cooled down a ton since last week, which is a big contributor to the Knicks problems with winning basketball games. Continue reading | |
