Finally, we here!
The final installment of the “Way Too Early Prediction” series, and this time we’re talking NY Knicks Centers.
It goes without saying who the best Knicks player of all time is, and that’s none other than “Big Pat” himself, Patrick Ewing.
During a time when the Center position was all about size and not necessarily skill, Pat had both.
Alongside Pat, Knicks fans have been spoiled with riches at the Center spot, but we’ve also had to endure some real stinkers.
From Willis Reed to Tyson Chandler to Marcus Camby…we’ve had the luxury of watching some high-level play from the 5 spot.

But then, we’ve also had to suffer through the worst version of Joakim Noah and then, of course, Eddy Curry…
The Curry trade seemed to be the beginning of the end of Knicks’ success for the following decade.
Now, looking at today’s roster, the team has maybe one of the deepest rotations at the big-man spot that it’s had in quite some time.
If last year proves anything, it’s that we’ve got a number of quality players manning the paint that can be called upon at the drop of a hat.
Hopefully, the unit stays healthy this year and we don’t have to worry about the same things as we did last season.
Because this is the best Knicks roster top to bottom we the fans have had the pleasure of watching in almost 10 years.
Anyway, let’s jump into the last leg of the series.
