Not much likely to save the next decade of Knickdom, except some fortuitous events such as winning a draft lottery or finding the next Kobe/Kawhi later down, plus a major young FA (like Luka) signing with us.
Mitch could become a quality starting C, which would be helpful.
Probably 2 or 3 years away form becoming an elite defender/rim running C.
A good piece. Who will look better with better PG play.
RJB could become an above average starter. Energy, hustle, physical, good driver, can get hot. Really needs to work on developing a reliable shot. I kind of see him as one of those guys with tools but shooting holding him back, and without the handles or passing chops to overcome that. I seem more concerned about his D than most. Hopefully can become an average or better starter.
If either Franc or Knox become legit starters, it's likely on their next contract ... on another team. And both look like bench role players.
Otherwise we don't have much to work with. We already seem ready to move on from our big FA acquisition, Randle.
Er ...
Not sure any team is in worse shape than NYK.
