The New York Knicks have been an entirely different team this year under new head coach Tom Thibodeau, but without several key pieces, they would be dead in the water. All-Star Julius Randle has played a significant part in the success of the team this season, but his counterpart, RJ Barrett, should also be respected as a productive player.
The Knicks currently sit in the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference as they prepare to take on the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday afternoon. If they can win their next two games and Miami or Atlanta lose, they can improve their ranking despite already having a guaranteed spot in the postseason.
