Overview

• Miles “Deuce” McBride said the offense grew stagnant under Tom Thibodeau and expressed optimism that Mike Brown’s pace and player movement will open it up, according to Newsweek’s recounting of his comments to the New York Post.
• The Sporting News reports New York recently worked out centers Thomas Bryant, Trey Jemison III and Alex Len, with Bryant still unsigned and roster constraints complicating any addition.
• ClutchPoints, as cited by The Sporting News, says the Knicks received at least one offer for a 2024 second-year player and could move a young guard for draft capital to open a spot, with Tyler Kolek identified as a potential candidate given backcourt depth.
• After finishing last in bench scoring last season, the Knicks added Jordan Clarkson, Guerschon Yabusele, Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews to bolster the second unit.
• ESPN’s Kevin Pelton still labels depth as New York’s biggest hole even as other commentators place the Knicks among East favorites given rival injuries and short odds to win the conference.
