Knicks Season Preview 2022-23
Regardless of how ambitious the New York Knicks want to approach the season, the team faces a stacked Atlantic Division.
Boston, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia are all NBA title contenders. Toronto has a formidable lineup and is three years removed from winning it all.
New York remains mired in mediocrity and looks to escape. The Knicks have solid starters in Jalen Brunson, Evan Fournier, R.J. Barrett, Julius Randle, and Mitchell Robinson to help the team pull out of its decades-long rut.
Brunson comes over from Dallas after helping the Mavericks’ playoff run to the Western Conference Finals last season. His point guard skills could spark the Knicks offense this season.
“It’s not so much what he’s saying, it’s more what he’s doing,” Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said via the New York Post. “He’s always had that impact on whatever team he’s with, whether it be his high school team, his college team or his pro team. That position is a leadership position: You unite, you inspire your teammates, you can control and manage the game. But when you look at what he does, you say, ‘OK, this guy cares about everyone on the team.’ He cares about the team, he prioritizes the team. That’s the best type of leadership you can have.”
Brunson very much recognizes the quality of leadership he’s called upon for in joining a franchise that has one playoff series win in 22 years.
“I gotta be a leader. I gotta be a leader,” Brunson said via the New York Post. “I’ve got to lead by example. I’ve got to lead vocally. I can’t miss a beat. If I miss a beat, that’s on me and I’m putting my team at a disadvantage.”
“So I don’t have to be perfect. I’m not going to make every single shot, I’m not going to do all that stuff,” Brunson added. “I’m going to make mistakes. But it’s how do I respond to those mistakes, how do I respond to different situations? Am I going to sulk? Or am I going to move on to the next play and have short-term memory and try to just be the best I can be on the next play?”
New York has some quality coming off the bench including former MVP Derrick Rose, who isn’t the player he was in Chicago but can still produce. The Knicks also have solid reserves in Quentin Grimes, Isaiah Hartenstein, Immanuel Quickly, and Obi Toppin.
