The New York Knicks have started the 2021 preseason strong, winning 3 of 4 total games. Against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, they held them to just 83 points and put up 119.
Thanks to a bevy of young players and aggressive basketball, the Knicks have instilled some faith for the regular season. Six different Knicks players reached double-digit points on Friday, with the entire starting unit earning positive +/- grades.
However, it is the Knicks’ youth that seems to be making a significant impact early on. Notable players like RJ Barrett, Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley, and Mitchell Robinson have displayed solid quality and growth.
