The New York Knicks Have an Underrated Young Core

The current average age of the New York Knicks is 24.8 years old. The Knicks have a young nucleus with a couple of productive vets in the group. This team is reasonably balanced in terms of youth and experience. However, the young core is underrated as expected due to last season’s poor record.

There’s a massive misunderstanding regarding the New York Knicks last season, and it’s a 17-65 record which was good for last place in the league. Many said the Knicks were dysfunctional last season. Many also said the Knicks were a G-League team. But folks tend to forget the whole point of last season’s struggles were for developmental purposes, a crack at a high lottery draft pick, and some luck in free agency especially after the cap space clearing Porzingis blockbuster trade that shook the league late last January.
