2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 20
The Knicks are back down to 14 as Jimmer ends his 10 day contract averaging 50 points per 36 minutes. It looks like the Knicks are going to use that final spot on Tony Wroten, who is coming off an injury and most likely won’t play the rest of the season, so that really helps our guard situation. Anyway, one win and two losses since last week, lets see if I can sort out this mess. | |||

1 | Anthony, Carmelo | This might have been Melos beat week of the season. I am a little disturbed Rambis finds it necessary to play Melo 40+ minutes on back to back nights. If he breaks Melo we might not win another game, and we’re on pace to win at least 2 more! | 2 |
2 | Afflalo, Arron | Afflalo had a really great week. Now that my expectations are up I’m fully expecting an absolutely terrible week coming up very soon. | 9 |
3 | Lopez, Robin | Lopez has been one of the only consistently positive things about this season. | 3 |
4 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Porzingis went from good against Portland to not so good against the Celtics, to injured for the Pistons game. Not one of his better weeks. He also ended his streak of eastern conference rookie of the month awards, losing out to Myles Turner. | 1 |
5 | O’Quinn, Kyle | Congrats to Kyle for being the least terrible guy on the Knicks bench! | 10 Continue reading |
2014/15 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 10
I didn’t show up for week 9 of the power rankings but that’s OK because neither did the Knicks. This weeks power rankings will include the last 6 losses…er…games…same thing at this point I guess. | |||

1 | Anthony, Carmelo | His knee is really really hurting so in the 4 complete games he plays he played for 40, 38, 43, and 46 minutes. He then couldn’t even come out after halftime last game. I know Melo is against the idea of tanking and wants to be out there, but the team is 5-28, the knee is getting worse and there are 4 years left on this ridiculous contract. Get the knee fixed and come back 100% next season. | 1 |
2 | Aldrich, Cole | Great week from Cole. One game he shoots 8-9 and the next night he has 19 boards. He’s not intimidating protecting the rim, but I still think he does a better job than Sam (I should retire soon) Dalembert. | 10 |
3 | Calderon, Jose | Ball movement and passing are a huge plus, the +/- is a huge negative. He’s an OK starting PG, but I’m worried about having him as the #1 PG option for the next 2 years. | 2 |
4 | Prigioni, Pablo | His shooting has been off and it looked like he had an eff you game jacking up threes last game, but he still assists and a higher clip than anyone else on this team. | 3 |
5 | Larkin, Shane | Good thing Shane plays defense, because he’s not very good on offense. Continue reading |

2013/14 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 10
Three games and three ugly losses since the last rankings. The week was highlighted by finding out Metta World Peace is an alien, Chris Smiths first NBA minutes, Dolans motivational speech followed up by Tyson Chandler saying he was told to say the meeting never happened and other stupid things that only happen with this franchise. I’d love to just start this list with #4 but alas I can’t, so without further ado here is this weeks Knicks roster power rankings: | |||

1 | Murry, Toure’ | Yeah I’m putting Murry at the top spot this week, big whoop, wanna fight about it? No starter deserves the top spot this week after the got blown out of the water in every game this week. Murry happens to play very good defense, makes some nice passes and those passes are to his own team, bonus! Murry also had a +4 while playhing 27 minutes in a 15 point loss, which is the one positive from that game. | 5 |
2 | Stoudemire, Amar’e | We have always said Amare is never going to be a positive on defense, but if he’s going to be super crazy efficient on offense then it’s worth having him out there. That’s what he was this week. The only efficient offensive threat on the entire team this week actually. So far this list is making me sad. | 12 |
3 | Udrih, Beno | Poor Beno, he looks outmatched out there sometimes, but he’s been handling the lead PG duties better than I expected. He also called out Woodson for his inconsistent playing time and the lack of the 2 PG lineup that he was promised upon signing with this mess of a team. | 4 |
4 | Chandler, Tyson | Tyson has not looked himself this week. Maybe he came back too soon or maybe he’s playing injured. Playing injured seems to be the thing to do on this team rather than taking a game or two off and coming back healthy and effective. Tyson has shown flashes but not enough. | 1 |
5 | Anthony, Carmelo | While I liked watching actual ball movement while Melo was out, I also like watching the ball go through the hoop, which it does not do often enough with Melo out with an ankle injury. Continue reading |
