2021/22 New York Knicks Player Power Rankings – Week 7
| A 2-1 week with the loss going to the Suns who were on a 14 game win streak at the time. 11-9 25% into the season, how are we feeling? | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last Weeks Rank |
| 1 | Burks, Alec | Burks has been the most consisten player for weeks now. Shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, he was very dependable last season as well. He got his first start of the season with Walker and Rose out and looked good in the starting unit. | 2 |
| 2 | Fournier, Evan | Look who decided to catch fire the day after I dropped him from my fantasy team! | 7 |
| 3 | Immanuel, Quickley | Two straight solid weeks from IQ, maybe we can ease off the panic button…just a little. | 4 |
| 4 | Toppin, Obi | Other than the Suns game Toppin continues to play well, however his 3 point percentage is down to 18%. | 3 |
| 5 | Randle, Julius | How good can the Knicks be when their best player has 1 good game a week? | 5 |
| 6 | Robinson, Mitchell | Mitch came back from his 37th injury of the season and looked OK, still can’t do anything on offense except dunk though. | 6 |
| 7 | Rose, Derrick | Last week I said you can count on Rose to show up every night. I should have added (when he’s not inured). Hopefully he’s back soon, he’s been the Knicks best player for most of the season. | 1 |
| 8 | Barrett, RJ | A mediocre week from RJ. Sadly that’s good enough for his 2nd best week. | 8 |
| 9 | Grimes, Quentin | Grimes got to play the last 3 games. Didn’t really move the needle in either direction, but the next few guys below him moved the needle in the wrong direction so he moves up by default. | 13 |
| 10 | Noel, Nerlens | HE’S INJURED AGAIN?!?!?!?! | 10 |
| 11 | Gibson, Taj | How many games has there been where all 3 of the Knicks centers have been healthy? | 11 |
| 12 | McBride, Miles | I thought with Walker and Rose out we’d see more Grimes and McBride. I was wrong. | 14 |
| 13 | Sims, Jericho | If the 4th string center still didn’t get much run with 2 of the 3 guys below him out, the Knicks should send him to the G league to get some run. | 12 |
| 14 | Walker, Kemba | I feel bad. Kemba was so excited to play in NY. He just doesn’t have it anymore though. The stats speak for themselves, the Knicks are #1 in the league on defense when Kemba sits and dead last when he plays. | 9 |
| 15 | Knox, Kevin | We had a Knox sighting! On the actual basketball court! During a game! | 15 |
Episode 551: Misery Index
Marc and Jay rank the Knicks roster based on how miserable they are making them
2021/22 New York Knicks Player Power Rankings – Week 6
| The Knicks are 9-8 but it feels like they’re 4-13. They barely beat the 1-14 Rockets. Lately when they win it feels like an absolute struggle. They better get it together soon because it feels like this could get ugly fast. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last Weeks Rank |
| 1 | Rose, Derrick | You can count on Rose to show up every night. He hasn’t been great every night but hasn’t had a terrible game all season and he’s been healthy. It’s great that he’s playing like this but not a good sign that he’s in the #1 spot. | 3 |
| 2 | Burks, Alec | Burks snapped out of his shooting slump and led the bench mob in a number of games, including a podcast saving win over the Rockets this weekend. | 10 |
| 3 | Toppin, Obi | Toppin outplayed Randle for a few times over the last two weeks. Great to see him improved so much since last season where he looked unplayable a lot of the time. | 7 |
| 4 | Immanuel, Quickley | Quickley also came out of his shooting slump. The bench was the only reason the Knicks won any games over the last two weeks and IQ was a huge part of that. | 8 |
| 5 | Randle, Julius | Randle was downright bad a number of times recently. The Bulls game being the first time we’ve seen the Randle of last season in what feels like a very long time. Is it in his head? I have a hard time believing all of last season was a fluke. | 1 |
| 6 | Robinson, Mitchell | Somehow Mitch has been injured 37 times in only 17 games. | 5 |
| 7 | Fournier, Evan | Fourniers only good game this week was the day after I dropped him from my fantasy team. He went back to his disappearing act against the Bulls. | 4 |
| 8 | Barrett, RJ | Holy crap what’s going on with Barrett? He looks completely lost and his shot is nowhere to be found. | 2 |
| 9 | Walker, Kemba | Even when Kemba puts up good numbers you look at the plus minus and he’s a minus. | 6 |
| 10 | Noel, Nerlens | Noel came back from his 12th injury this season and…..let’s say there’s some rust to work off. | 11 |
| 11 | Gibson, Taj | Considering the Knicks centers are made of glass and teflon I’m glad Taj is always there for insurance. | 9 |
| 12 | Sims, Jericho | I have a feeling there’s going to be a game this season where he’s the only healthy center. | 12 |
| 13 | Grimes, Quentin | If Kemba keeps playing like this we might see Grimes sooner than later | 13 |
| 14 | McBride, Miles | McBride tore up the G league last week | 14 |
| 15 | Knox, Kevin | Hi Kevin. | 15 |
