Knicks season outlook and roster information
New York is coming off its first 50-win season in over a decade and is expected to finish in that range again. The Knicks were the No. 2 seed in the East last season. It will take a lot for them to overcome the Celtics, but it won't be another walk in the park if Boston wins the conference again.
Jalen Brunson will enter his first season as Captain. He earned his first All-NBA and All-Star nods last season. Julius Randle will return after missing the second half of last season with a dislocated shoulder. He's coming off his third All-Star honor. OG Anunoby, who injured his hamstrings in the playoffs, is healthy and fresh off a five-year deal.
Bridges isn't the star everyone thought New York would trade for, but he's the perfect role player for Tom Thibodeau's squad. Watching the new-look starting lineup (and Villanova quartet) will be exciting.
