| 1-2 this week. Not great, but at least we beat the Lakers. Barely. The Lakers are terrible and it would have been very depressing to lose to them. This weeks rankings are very difficult as there were no standouts. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Galloway, Langston | Galloway plays defense, rebounds well for a PG, and seems to have found a 3 point shot. It looks like his minutes are increasing while Vujacic and Calderons are decreasing. As it should be. | 2 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Back to back double-doubles? Yes please. When his shot starts falling he’s going to be a monster. | 6 |
| 3 | Anthony, Carmelo | Absolute trash shooting so far this season. Melo has shot above 40% once in 7 games. He shoots 20 shots again and half of them are bad looks. We’re not going to win many games if this keeps up. | 1 |
| 4 | Lopez, Robin | Lopez does a lot of things that don’t show up on the box score. He hasn’t blown anyone away, but he’s been solid. | 5 |
| 5 | Calderon, Jose | And this is the problem with a 10 player rotation where most guys are under performing. Calderon had one good game and made it almost impossible for me to justify putting anyone else above him. Continue reading | |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 2
| Considering the tough opening schedule, I’d say 2-2 is a nice start. The flaws in the roster are already becoming apparent. We mentioned the backcourt was a problem and oh boy is it. Jerian Grant leads the team in assists with 3.8. In case you are new to stats, that is not good. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Anthony, Carmelo | 1 good game and 3 shooting performances that would make Kobe cringe. If he wasn’t getting to the line and if he weren’t 2nd on the team in assists I’d already have lowered him in the rankings. | 1 |
| 2 | Galloway, Langston | I mentioned last week that Galloway was a keeper if he could find his shot. Well look who just went 9-12 from the 3 last week! | 5 |
| 3 | Grant, Jerian | He plays defense, hits some shots and has the two highest assist games of the season for the Knicks at 7 and 5. Kind of the opposite of our starting PG. | 4 |
| 4 | O’Quinn, Kyle | Tied for 8th on the team in minutes played but 2nd in rebounds. He’s a high energy guy like Acy was last year, only good. | 3 |
| 5 | Lopez, Robin | Solid defense, decent on offense, would like to see more rebounds though. Continue reading | |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 1
| Happy first day of the season day. As usual there are a lot of new faces this season (8), and this opening day roster only has 3 guys from last seasons opening day roster (probably a good thing). Since the Knicks haven’t played yet this is most likely going to be the most positive rankings you’ll see this season. This weeks rankings is based on the preseason, expectations for the regular season, and gut instinct. Lets get to it! | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Anthony, Carmelo | He’s the best player on the team and it’s not even close. Melo looks fully healthy and ready to post 20-25 points per game. His defense and shooting percentage are things to keep an eye on. | – |
| 2 | Lopez, Robin | A center! A real center that does centery things! We started last season with Dalembert who just got cut by Dallas for being fat. I’d say this is a huge upgrade. | – |
| 3 | O’Quinn, Kyle | Last year Acy had the #3 spot at one point. A high energy guy that can rebound. Kyle, please be better than Acy! | – |
| 4 | Grant, Jerian | Our backup point guard until Calderon gets injured or just turns into dust. Lots of potential for this guy. I’m getting hyped. | – |
| 5 | Galloway, Langston | Galloway is already a nice defender and rebounder. If he can work on his shot he’ll be a keeper. Continue reading | |
