New York Knicks: Best Free Agent Fits At Center

5. Miles Plumlee, RFA

2015-16 Team: Milwaukee Bucks
Age: 27
Slash Line: .601/.000/.576
Season Averages: 14.3 MPG, 5.1 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.5 ORPG, 0.8 BPG

Miles Plumlee is the type of big man the New York Knicks need to add to the rotation. He’s an athletic 6’11” center who plays above the rim, ferociously attacks the offensive glass, and plays at a respectable level defensively.

Plumlee is a restricted free agent, but the Milwaukee Bucks’ crowded frontcourt suggests he will be available for the Knicks to sign.

Plumlee’s ability to crash the offensive boards is the key to his game. He averaged 1.5 offensive rebounds in 14.3 minutes of action, which translates to 3.9 offensive boards per 36 minutes.

That isn’t just a good and impressive mark; it ranked No. 17 in the NBA in 2015-16.

Defensively, Plumlee has the athleticism to step out against shooters and disrupt the pick-and-roll. He held opponents below their average field goal percentage on 2-point and 3-point field goals, including a sharp decline of 5.5 percent from six feet and within.

Plumlee isn’t a finished product, but he’s a solid basketball player whom the Knicks would benefit from sign.
