2024/25 New York Knicks Player Power Rankings – Week 6

The Knicks have won 5 out fo the last 6 (we won’t talk about that Jazz game), and Precious is very close to coming back. The Knicks look like they’re starting to gel. This is why you don’t call a trade a bust after a dozen games.
Rank Player Comments Last Weeks Rank
1 Anonoby, OG OG playing great on both ends, with a career high 40 points last night. He’s playing like prime Kahwi 3
2 Brunson, Jalen Career high 17 assists last night, that’s what we need to see more of. The Knicks look incredible when the ball is moving. 1
3 Towns, Karl-Anthony Towns has been really good. No buyers remorse here.The east doesn’t have a lot of elite bigs, he’s going to be a problem for opposing teams all season. 2
4 Hart, Josh Hart does it all. So for this season he’s averaging a career high in FG%, FT%, rebounds, and assists. 5
5 Bridges, Mikal An up and down start to the season, if Mikal gets it together this is arguably the best starting lineup in the league. 4
6 McBride, Miles Good to see McBride back so soon, was worried he had a long term injury. 6
7 Payne, Cameron Payne brings nice energy off the bench. He had a steal on 3 straight plays against the Jazz. 7
8 Sims, Jericho Sims held his own against Jokic, am I dreaming? 8
9 Kolek, Tyler Kolek had 8 mins in the 1st half against the Jazz. I thought he had broken into the rotation, but it looks like he’s going to have to wait a little longer to become a regular. 10
10 Dadiet, Pacome I’ve been impressed with Dadiet’s defense. He looks really good in the short minutes we’ve seen him. Might have something here. 11
11 Hukporti, Ariel Since Sims play has improved it looks like Hukporti is the 3rd big man in a 2 big man rotation. 9
12 Achiuwa, Precious Word has it Precious is very close to coming back. More depth is always a good thing. 12
13 Robinson, Mitchell Mitch posted his goals on instagram and one of them was to be playing by Xmas. Fingers crossed! 13

Episode 659: Play the Bench

Marc and Jay talk about the last 3 games, Thibs unwillingness to give the rookies a chance, what the rotation will look like when everyone comes back, over/unders

2024/25 New York Knicks Player Power Rankings – Week 3

This team keeps making me go back and forth between they’re going all the way and man this team has a long way to go. That’s just the way it is early in a season when the team adds 8 new players.
Rank Player Comments Last Weeks Rank
1 Brunson, Jalen Brunson has been the best and most consistent player on the roster. I don’t think this is a hot take. 1
2 Towns, Karl-Anthony The Invisible Man era lasted one game. A 44 point showing this early in the season was nice to see. Defense could be better but we already knew that. 6
3 Anonoby, OG When OG gets rolling on offense you see why the Knicks paid him so much. Hopefully he can do what he did in Houston more consistently 2
4 Bridges, Mikal Bridges looks like he’s getting more comfortable on this team every game. 3
5 Hart, Josh What number is higher, Hart’s rebounds or injury scares per game? 4
6 McBride, Miles Let’s pretend the Houston game never happened. 5
7 Payne, Cameron Payne shows flashes of being a nice backup, but he also chucks like he thinks he’s the best player on the court. 7
8 Sims, Jericho Sims is back getting a lot of minutes. When is Precious coming back? 9
9 Hukporti, Ariel Not sure why he fell out of the rotation after looking better than the guy above him. 8
10 Kolek, Tyler We got a very short Kolek sighting. He looked decent. How about not play the starters 40mpg in the beginning of the season and give Tyler some run. 10
11 Dadiet, Pacome Apparently all the guards will have to be injured before we see Pacome again. 11
12 Achiuwa, Precious Please come back soon! 12
13 Robinson, Mitchell Mitch hasn’t played yet, but neither has the guy who injured him, so karma is doing it’s job. 13
