New York Knicks: Top 10 VORP ratings in franchise history

The New York Knicks have featured valuable players in their franchise’s history, but just how much? It can be determined through Value Over Replacement Player (VORP), which estimates how a player would perform instead of a “replacement player.” Basketball-Reference describes this as a “player on minimum salary or not a normal member of a team’s rotation.”

For this unique but valuable stat, who stands tall in Knicks history?

  1. Patrick Ewing, 42.4: Ewing’s VORP is, by far, the highest of anyone’s in Knicks history. He dominated his time with the team, and it shows through this high number.
