It feels surreal that RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley were once the Knicks, while Karl-Anthony Towns has made such a swift impact as a newcomer. The Knicks have played 22 games, and it’s wild— both a long and short stretch of time.
As the Knicks sit at 14-8, they face key challenges this season but are in a better position than many teams regarding health and long-term viability.
Analyzing players like Jacob Toppin and Matt Ryan shows the difference in performance; while Ryan is aggressive with shots, Toppin has seemingly minimal involvement in plays.
Tom Thibodeau's focus on defense means players like Tyler Kolek, despite having the talent, face limitations if they aren't meeting defensive expectations, leading to mistrust during games.
