Most of the focus around The New York Knicks has been centered around the team’s younger stars. The players who seem to have cemented themselves as part of the “Young core” and vital pieces of the team’s future success: Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Mitchell Robinson. The development of these core young players has the team playing at their highest level in a long time, but it’s not just the stars who have been a part of The Knicks’ transformation.
With every successful team comes important role players, and The Knicks have had a few this season.
