When the Knicks traded away Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee, the hope was for some of their younger players–like Noah Vonleh–to experience some growth and continue to improve. The 23-year-old out of Indiana University has posted a solid per-36 of 11.5 points and 11.3 rebounds, and has at times looked like a […]

In his latest podcast, ESPN insider Zach Lowe speculates Kristaps Porzingis wasn’t thrilled about the idea of playing with Kevin Durant on the New York Knicks. Durant can become an unrestricted free agent this summer if he declines his 2019-20 player option with the Golden State Warriors and the two-time Finals MVP has been linked […]

Williamson is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. A lot of people believe Zion should sit out the rest […]

Zion Williamson is a freak of nature. No human being that big and strong should still be that explosive, quick, and skilled.

The New York Knicks are full of young players, guys who spend their nights doing what they used to do in college, but without the homework to burden them.
