The New York Knicks are going to be a much more talented team than they were last season. Specifically, they should bring a strong frontcourt to the table with Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randle manning the paint.
ESPN released its top 100 NBA players list on Monday and both Robinson (98) and Randle (92) made the cut. Presumably, Robinson and Randle will be the only Knicks to make the top 100.
Robinson is coming off of an eye-opening rookie season. His dominance as a rim-protector and penchant for making tough shots at the rim helped Robinson make the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team last season.
