The New York Knicks made a statement last season with a playoff trip and have continued to create waves in the offseason.
Tom Thibodeau, in his first year as head coach of the Knicks, got the most out of his players. Julius Randle made a significant improvement by receiving the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. Immanuel Quickley, on the other hand, exceeded expectations and was chosen to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
Derrick Rose and Nerlens Noel were re-signed by the team, building on their previous success. They’ve also signed huge names like Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker, who played together for the Boston Celtics in 2020-21.
