It's time to unveil the New York Knicks' 2020-21 preseason scores for #CrystalBasketball!

You can see the full rankings at the link below, and we'll share the top five players in this thread.

The goal of this project? To provide rankings of every single player who might log even a single minute in the NBA during the 2020-21 season. These are projections based solely on the level at which we expect them to play during the upcoming campaign.

Contributors were asked to grade every player on this scale—again projecting the level at which each player would play in 2020-21 without factoring in the distant past or projected growth/regression beyond the upcoming season.
