Predicting the Knicks’ 2nd team combination ahead of 2021-22 season

The New York Knicks starting five is likely set ahead of the 2021-22 season, with the exception of Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose likely interchanging spots. However, the second team combination could go several different directions, but ideally, head coach Tom Thibodeau will look to get some of his younger pieces on the floor who can contribute immediately.

While rookies Miles McBride and Quentin Grimes looked good during Summer League play, it is unlikely they earn ample minutes this upcoming season, rather featuring on the third team or in garbage time.

Let’s take a look at what the second unit could look like and what each player’s role will be.
