The 2018-19 NBA season took the New York Knicks to the bottom of the standings. Labeled a “developmental” year, youth and inexperience were highlighted, while veterans either took minor roles, were traded or waived.
2019-20 will have a different look, as seven free agents and two draft picks were added over the last 30 days. How they impact the on-court product for the next 82 games remains unknown, but that will not stop early projections for how everything could play out.
FiveThirtyEight recently released their CARMELO projections for 2019-20, which are based on 50,000 simulations for the season and the website’s CARMELO player projections — not wins or losses.
