The New York Knicks have a new look to their roster entering the 2024-25 season. Mikal Bridges is going to be in a starting five that will see Julius Randle return from injury and OG Anunoby back in a Knicks uniform for the long haul. Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart will likely slot back into their bench roles that they had at the start of last season, but both have now grown into massive contributors no matter what role they are thrown into.
Certain players will have to make sacrifices next season Realistically speaking, the Knicks have seven guys who can serve as a top option on any given night, but with only so many available shots to put up in games, players who might be used to having a higher shot volume will have to sacrifice more attempts in order to still allow for Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle to get a majority of the touches. It’s a luxury to have, but one that will be unique to navigate. Brunson doesn’t believe making such sacrifices will be a difficult task for the Knicks: “I think it starts with me and I think Julius has the character and the mindset to do it.
I think most importantly, it’s just us going out there and being a team and knowing that on any given night...
there’s going to be someone who’s obviously the hot hand,” Brunson said via SNY’s Ian Begley. “How can we be the best teammates possible to put ourselves in the best position to win.” The Knicks have a very deep team heading into next season The Knicks showcased their depth in.
