Putting the young Knicks in context

There has been a lot of talk about where the current iteration of the New York Knicks is going. It’s an interesting discussion considering the roster that is in place entering the 2022 offseason. As much as we all fantasize about the potential of the likes of Jericho Sims, Quentin Grimes, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley (all of them either 21 or 22 years old) there are also some very grizzled veterans in the squad such as Taj Gibson (36), Derrick Rose (33), Kemba Walker (31), and Alec Burks (30).

All things considered, though, and excluding players without at least 300 minutes played last year, the truth is that the Knicks boasted a roster comprised of players with an average age of 26.
