2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 8

An up a down week. There was the Utah game where the Knicks got spanked, the Kings game that the Knicks should have won, and the Portland game where they finally did win. A lot of shake ups in the rankings this week as Porzingis terrible week gets him dethroned, and O’Quinn gets out of the doghouse and shoots up the standings.

1	Anthony, Carmelo	Yeah he was bad in Utah, but who wasn’t. Melo was crazy good in Portland with arguably his best outing of the season. Lets hope we see more games like that.	3
2	Afflalo, Arron	It’s nice having another scoring option, Afflalo hasn’t been amazing, but he’s been fairly reliable and consistent, something no one else on the team currently has.	2
3	O’Quinn, Kyle	I don’t know what to make of this, KOQ had a great week, grabbed a ton of boards, and even had a 7-8 night against Portland. Why does Fisher bench him for weeks at a time?	13
4	Thomas, Lance	Never thought I’d ever put Thomas this high. Does this count as my apology?	7
5	Vujacic, Sasha	This is like the bizarro standings. I still think we’d be better off if Sasha were in a suit, but I can’t deny how good he was this week. Sasha almost led a comeback in Utah after a no show by the starters. Continue reading →

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 5

3 wins this week, bringing the win streak to 4 games! I’m of course pretending the Miami game didn’t happen. Those aren’t the Knicks I watched for the first 14 games of the season. Those were a bunch of jokers who didn’t play defense and couldn’t shoot.

1	Porzingis, Kristaps	It took a whole 5 weeks before our young, too skinny, multi-year project claimed the #1 spot. Zingis arguably outplayed our superstar Melo in 3 of the 4 games this week, including a 29 point game and a 7 block game (both tops among rookies this season).	2
2	Anthony, Carmelo	Melo has been alright this week. Not the untradable superstar I keep hearing about, but decent. His assists are back down, 5 over the course of the last 3 games, and his shot is still streaky. Basically classic Melo, very good but leaves you wanting more.	1
3	Afflalo, Arron	Afflalo is a legit starting SG, but not one of the best SG’s in the league. He is, however, probably the best SG the Knicks have had since Starks. That’s depressing.	3
4	Calderon, Jose	The Knicks go as Calderon goes. He played well in our 3 wins and bad in the 1 loss.	5
5	Galloway, Langston	For the first 3 weeks I thought we had a deep bench, now it looks like Galloway and whatever random guy ends up playing well for 1 night. Continue reading →
