While the Kemba Walker signing was a coup for the Knicks at his reduced price tag, the signing still comes with risks — namely, Kemba’s increasingly faulty knees. What can Tom Thibodeau do to keep the Knicks’ former All-Star healthy this year?

Welcome to Part 2 of our second Knicktion: Knicks-based fiction. In Part 1, the Knicks assembled the super team of James Dolan’s dreams, landing Chris Paul and eventually Carmelo Anthony. But both signed one-year deals with the intention of winning a championship, with the mighty Miami Heat standing in their way.

Welcome to our second Knicktion: Knicks-based fiction. In the first part of this two-part series, Shwinnypooh and Knicks Illustrated imagine a world where the Knicks balked at Denver’s asking price for Carmelo Anthony in 2011, letting him instead go to their crosstown rival.

Can a team truly affect the 3-point percentage of their opponents on defense? Can one season at a time even properly contextualize 3-point shooting? Were the Knicks just “lucky” to achieve the best 3-point defense in the NBA this year? Drew tries to find the answers.

Have you ever looked at some of these advanced stats floating around the NBA universe and wondered what the hell they mean? Or seen something with your eyes that you can’t quite figure out how to prove or disprove with data? Ask away in the comments and Drew will answer!

The first major domino to fall in the Knicks’ offseason plans, Evan Fournier should offer a level of scoring versatility that New York sorely needed last year. What do the film and stats say about the Knicks’ new shooting guard’s potential impact on the team?

Kemba Walker playing for the Knicks this year is about much more than just a near-perfect fit on the basketball court — it represents one of the most true New York-style point guards ever getting to come home and play on New York’s biggest stage again.

The Knicks kicked off Summer League play against the Raptors on Sunday afternoon, and though they showed a considerable amount of rust and jitters, the young Knicks gave glimpses of lots of potential.

You know Immanuel Quickley, Deuce McBride, Obi Toppin, and Quentin Grimes. But what about the “other guys” on the Knicks’ Summer League team? Could one of them fill a future two-way contract on the Knicks?

Kemba Walker is a New York Knick. The four-time All-Star is presumably a fit on any team, but just how perfect is he for this Knicks team?

The Knicks were once deemed by a prominent NBA reporter to be “rudderless.” In 2021, the team seems to finally have found its rudder, with Leon Rose’s front office braintrust.

If the bigger name point guards are all off the board for the Knicks in free agency, could Cam Payne present a solid consolation prize as a late-blooming guard with scoring and transition appeal, fresh off a Finals run?

The Knicks come into free agency armed with a league-leading $50 million-plus of cap space. Is a spending spree incoming? Will they attempt to play it safe for a second straight year? Should they have their eyes on Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine in the 2022 free agent class?

The Knicks need guard and wing depth, even after addressing some of that in the draft. Could Josh Hart give them not only good production as a guard, but a player that maybe gives them the ability to finally play small ball as well?

Both capable of making the Knicks better now AND in the future, should Lonzo Ball be more of a target? More importantly, is he a point guard, or more of a wing?

The Knicks have needed a strong presence at point guard forever. Could a 35-year-old division rival be the shot in the arm to take the newly-revitalized Knicks to another level?

The dust has settled on an active 2021 NBA Draft for the Knicks. How did they do? Were the moves they made prudent ones? Will the new Knicks get playing time? Our staff tackles the tough questions.

Tonight, 60 young basketball players will see their dreams fulfilled and make it to the National Basketball Association. That means there’s no better time for the 2021 Disrespectful Draft Comparisons, completely tossing out the prospects’ unique traits (jokingly) to compare them to guys that’ve already played, good and bad. Sit back and enjoy.

If early reports are to be believed, this year’s draft might be full of movement around the league. The Knicks find themselves well-positioned, with two first round picks, an early second, and loads of cap space to make moves. Who are some of the teams New York could target to try to move up in the draft?

Every draft cycle, outside of the top 10 there are always players considered “polished” and “safe” compared to those considered “raw” and “risks to bust.” But via discoveries through data, could drafting a raw player actually be the safer bet by the numbers?
