1. We kind of know the best(MVP) player--- IMO Randell but how about the others-- my takes----
2. Best off bench---- A few weeks ago I would have said Quickley But now definitely Rose- and maybe then Alec Burks.
3, Best players getting 150% of their capability each night- The human Pogo Stick - Noel and partner in grit Tahj Gibson.
4. The literary closest to Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde -R J Barrett.
5. The guy you would want to shoot the last shot with game on the line- Randall.
6. The most slowly developing of the newbies-Obi Topin. The guy with the biggest turnaround lately-Ntilikina.
7. The guy we need the most to regain his shot for the playoff- Quickley.
Your thoughts/ others..

Your thoughts/ others.. Nice list. I've been quite impressed with Obi's improvement this season. As expected, many rookies grow as the season progresses. Obi is much better and seems to have caught up with the pace and spirit of the game. Love your #3. We have some guys I'm really gonna miss next season.

Hilarious note. Broadcast (I believe JVG) mentioned the excellence of the deal of Rose for a second round pick. But the deal was a second round pick and Dennis Smythe. How easily forgotten and dismissed was that guy?

Your thoughts/ others.. MVP is obviously Randle though while going through the archives looking for a particular thread on win predictions I came across a number of anti-Julius posts. Not so much any more.
Best off Bench is Rose and he gets my vote for guy I'd want shooting the clutch shot.
Noel, Gibson and Randle all deserve votes for getting 150% of their capability.
Jeckyl and Hyde goes to Quickley.
Obi's growth as a player was indeed slow but he's playing behind the Knicks best player who is amongst the leaders in minutes played. That said Obi's game has expanded tremendously and I go with him as the biggest improvement lately too.
Being honest the Knicks are a sum of the parts team. Quickly needs to shoot better but the team's success relies just as much on Randle, RJ, Burks, Bullock and Rose too.
And while I defend him all the time Thibs needs to park Payton at the end of the bench. He may even want to start Burks at PG instead of Elfrid whose last 10 games or so have been horrible.
