Some good stuff here that illustrates where the success is coming from.
Jack leads the Knicks with an average of 5.4 assists to just 1.6 turnovers in 25.7 minutes per game. Not only has Jack revitalized the Knicks’ offense, but he’s accumulated an outstanding assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.50—No. 5 in the NBA amongst players averaging at least 5.0 assists per game.
Those numbers become even more impressive when translated to averages of 7.6 assists and 2.2 turnovers per 36 minutes.
Ntilikina isn’t far behind with averages of 5.0 assists to 2.2 turnovers in just 19.9 minutes per game—good for an efficient assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.25. The numbers jump from solid to awe-inspiring when one considers that Ntilikina is averaging 9.1 assists per 36 minutes—borderline elite production.
With Ntilikina and Jack facilitating the offense, New York is averaging its most points per game since 2010-11 and its most assists per contest since 1994-95.
In the nine games Ntilikina has appeared in, the New York Knicks have accumulated a net rating of +4.8. When Ntilikina hasn’t been on the court, that number has plummeted to -6.0—a difference of 10.8 points per 100 possessions.
New York is not only 5.7 points per 100 possessions better on offense with Ntilikina on the court, but 5.1 points per 100 possessions worse on defense when he isn’t.
In addition to making a positive impact on the team, Ntilikina has bordered on dominance as a ball hawk. He ranks No. 3 in the NBA in deflections per 36 minutes, trailing just 6’9& #8243; forwards Paul George and Robert Covington, and is averaging 2.8 steals per 36.
Perhaps the most important number is that the Knicks rank No. 4 in the NBA in points allowed in the paint per game. No two players have played a more significant role in that level of success than Porzingis and Kyle O’Quinn—New York’s resident shot-blockers.
Credit must also go to the Knicks’ vastly improved perimeter defenders, but Porzingis and O’Quinn have combined to average a dominant 5.2 blocks per 36 minutes.
Where Enes Kanter comes into the equation is the manner in which New York has obliterated teams along the offensive interior. Porzingis currently ranks No. 3 in points via post ups per game, while Kanter is No. 2 in points per possession out of post ups.
Throw in the fact that New York is No. 1 in the NBA in points in the paint per game, and the Knicks have been unequivocally dominant down low.
Spot on. Its much easier to build a team around well rounded players. Much.
The PG's have been huge for us and it goes beyond the numbers. It's not just the total assists, its when they have those assists. Jack is a savvy vet who has a great feel for the flow of a game and he knows who to get the ball to at certain points.
Pass to Melo, watch him hold the ball for 20 seconds, dribble left and then right and then score, no assist. Not to mention Rose didn't pass much at all to begin with.
I have wanted a PG like Frank for the longest time. I prefer a PG who can play great defense and high assist totals. For all the things that Phil Jackson he deserves a lot of credit for taking KP and Frank.

I can see Mvdermott replacing Lee in the starting lineup

Per Marc Berman of The New York Post, big man Kyle O’Quinn summarized McDermott’s game perfectly: “Just find him…he’ll make you look good.”

what about klay thompson? he is the most likely player to leave golden state, seems like a good fit

Francesca was talking up Klay as the perfect FA target for this Knicks team
Imagine KP, Frank, THjr, then upgrade from Lee to Klay Thompson? Whoa

Just continue to gather up good pieces. Expecting anyone from Golden State to want to leave is a pipe dream imo.
yeah would need to make some moves but its possible, especially if cap rises

in the draft unless they get lucky, they will be able to find role players but the next star will likelt be in free agency..

They are not going to be able to pay all 4 guys
Build up a quality environment here and players will want to come here. Right now the Knicks are better than expected, but some of the most important parts of why they're having this success aren't scheduled to be here long term.

Adam Silver looks like an all time great commish.
Yeah, brah, that’s exactly what I was thinking. SMH.
I honestly had no idea why the name was changed.
My bad then...thought it was directed at me.
