| 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 |

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 |
