The New York Knicks have made swooping changes to the 2016-17 roster. Courtney Lee, Joakim Noah, and Derrick Rose will join Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis in the starting lineup, while Brandon Jennings will fill the role of sixth man.
Recognizable as those names clearly are, it’s the unsung heroes who will determine the full extent of the Knicks’ immediate potential.
Three of the Knicks’ most promising offseason additions were Willy Hernangomez, Justin Holiday, and Mindaugas Kuzminskas. Hernangomez and Kuzminskas showed out at the Olympics, while Holiday turned heads with the Chicago Bulls in 2015-16.
