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
