The outcome of this season is going to be determined by the All-NBA duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, as well as the supporting cast of Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson, and Deuce McBride. However, their young core of Tyler Kolek, Ariel Hukporti, Pacome Dadiet, and Kevin McCullar Jr., who the Knicks hope can develop into valuable contributors, got a huge boost as the Knicks hired Riccardo Fois to the coaching staff.
Fois, who was an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings, has a reputation for developing players and could be the key to unlocking some of the Knicks' youngsters.
