New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley isn’t impressed with the roster that the Knickerbockers have built this offseason.

This year’s Las Vegas Summer League did not feature many of the notable players that had headlined the rookie class.

After struggling in his first two Summer League games, New York Knicks rookie RJ Barrett played well in his final three games, showing why he’s got tremendous upside.

Former New York Knicks player Amar’e Stoudemire believes that James Dolan isn’t the one to blame for the team’s misfortunes.

The New York Knicks were supposed to be this summer’s biggest winner.

[…]

Over the past couple of years, the New York Knicks haven’t been able to build a competitive roster.

The free agency frenzy is over and most of the teams’ rosters for next season are set.

It’s been a topsy-turvy time for New York Knicks rookie and 2019 third overall pick RJ Barrett at the NBA’s annual Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada.

When the New York Knicks selected RJ Barrett with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft, they likely assumed his Summer League debut would be more glamorous than it has been.
