Most of us were prepared for this, and despite the media bashing and public ridicule the organization has received, the Knicks did have a successful summer, even if it was plan B. With that being said, for the second time in a decade, they had a chance at signing the best player in the league, and just like 2010, missed out.

Undrafted free agent Allonzo Trier has also been a pleasant find, but he has struggled for consistency in his play lately. The one shining gem that has stood out is the second-round pick, Mitchell Robinson.
