The New York Knicks are in the process of a slight identity change. Even though they still look to hang their hat on defense and toughness, they are much improved offensively in 2021-22. And by much better offensively, we mean by a mile.
The two main upgrades the Knicks made to the roster were in the starting lineup. The bench unit is exactly the same as last year (aside from Taj Gibson getting minutes while Nerlens Noel nurses an injury).
As for the starting lineup, insert Kemba Walker for Elfrid Payton and Evan Fournier for Reggie Bullock.
