Prez breaks down Deuce McBride’s tape from his assignment to the Westchester Knicks on Nov. 29 against the Maine Celtics. How did the Knicks’ rookie look during his 28-point, 6-rebound, 5-assist performance in the G League?

Despite a furious rally from the Knicks reserves, the hole dug by the listless starters and the barrage of threes from the world champions proved too much to overcome.

Previously a journeyman, Alec Burks perhaps found his home for the future last season when he signed a one-year deal with the Knicks, later re-upping on a two-year pact this summer. Could Burks come close to replicating his nearly historic pull-up shooting numbers from last season?

Kemba Walker playing for the Knicks this year is about much more than just a near-perfect fit on the basketball court — it represents one of the most true New York-style point guards ever getting to come home and play on New York’s biggest stage again.

One of the more intriguing players in the draft, Kai Jones has the physical tools to do whatever he wants at basically any level of basketball. But will he harness those gifts properly in the NBA?

Once projected to be a top-five pick, a very underwhelming freshman season saw BJ Boston drop into the second round conversation. Could he be a bet worth taking for the Knicks?

Could Isaiah Jackson be the latest University of Kentucky player to show more in the NBA than he did in college? Should the Knicks even care with Mitchell Robinson already in place, or is there no limit to getting good players on your basketball team regardless of position?

A young guard that was one half of a very talented freshman duo at Tennessee, could Jaden Springer’s “jack of all trades, master of none” profile hold him back in the NBA, or will he be a steady contributor?

Size and poor shooting numbers in a small college sample have Sharife Cooper in the Knicks’ range, but could the point guard out of Auburn with amazing vision and passing ability be a star bet for New York?

What if the Knicks could get a very expensive NBA archetype (a sweet-shooting two-way threat) late in the first round? Kessler Edwards might be that guy.

How do we evaluate the skills of draft prospects? How should we? Prez details how the 2020 NBA Draft provided some valuable insight on prospect evaluation for 2021 and beyond.

Once the top point guard prospect in the 2021 class, Nix saw his stock fall after showing up to the G League Ignite on the heavy side and not exactly blowing the league out of the water. Could he be a low risk, high reward reclamation project for the Knicks around the first-to-second-round turn?

A springy wing with one of the most impressive athletic profiles in draft history, Johnson will likely be gone before the Knicks pick… but with the right slip, could be a trade up candidate.

A physical specimen with consistency issues who may not be a Day 1 contributor for whatever team takes him in the lottery.

The headliner of the G League Ignite team’s inaugural squad, Green has the potential to be a primary scoring option for whatever team drafts him early in the NBA Draft.

An extremely talented big man who, in a non-Cade Cunningham-headlined year, might be in consideration for the top pick in the draft.

Reggie Bullock has grown within this very season from a moderately good 3-point shooter to an absolute high-volume gunner. How has his newfound variety of shot attempts led to the change?

Just how much do individual rebound numbers matter? Are rebounds more of a team game than an individual one? How do the Knicks’ bigs rank out? Prez takes a deep dive.

From the time he entered the NBA and leading into his second season, RJ Barrett had two skills that could define his career in the league: finishing and shooting. He’s shown some improvement in both, but is it sustainable? And how do his improvements compare to others at his age?

The Knicks came into Chicago on the second game of a back-to-back and played sluggish on their way to a 110-102 loss to the Bulls, but the rotations from head coach Tom Thibodeau are also becoming more concerning by the day. Could a few adjustments have helped the Knicks sneak a win?
