We’ll have to keep an eye on his efficiency and jumper moving forward, but the first returns are promising to say the least. Evan Fournier: 5 PTS (1/3 FG, 1/2 3PT, 2/2 FT), 2 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 1 TO in 18 mins Evan Fournier’s best defensive performances last season came down to playing passing lanes and being a help defender. He had a similarly effective game in the passing lanes during this one. There are questions about a Brunson/Fournier tandem’s ability to defend, but they can keep their heads above water if Fournier is focused and working as he did against Detroit. Not much else stood out as new. But we saw some signature Fournier in a quick three to start the game and a lob to Mitchell Robinson later.

Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks live stream 21 October His production was excellent, but the fact that he fit and flowed with everything New York was aiming for matters even more. Randle’s production really was impressive, though. Julius got his share of isolations, powering inside on face and post-ups alike. He proved to be a willing passer when defenders doubled. And for most of the time, his decision-making felt faster than usual. We’ll have to see how it sticks, but this is a version of Randle that I believe every Knicks fan could live with on the roster. Mitchell Robinson: 6 PTS (3/3 FG), 4 REB, 1 STL, 3 BLK, 1 TO in 18 mins Mitchell Robinson started the game with a steal and a coast-to-coast dunk. He followed that with an emphatic block of Jaden Ivey. It’s not just their size or intimidating play; both guys have endless motors. Teams won’t get breaks from energetic 7-footers flying around the court. Derrick Rose: 3 PTS (1/2 FG, 1/1 3PT), 1 AST, 1 REB in 6 mins I want to note that Derrick Rose looked healthy and prepared to be the same impact player we’ve had since Leon Rose traded for him. It’s good to see Rose back. Watch Live: Brooklyn Nets at New York Knicks, 6:00 PM EST It's unlikely that fans will get to see No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham today due to injury, but that just means more time for Killian Obi Toppin: 8 PTS (4/9 FG, 0/4 3PT), 3 AST, 6 REB in 22 mins Although his jumper still looks like a work in progress, Obi Toppin showed improvement in one key area. His rebounding was strong, with good positioning and box outs as shots went up. That’s an important piece for his development. Besides that, we got the best traits of Obi from last season but not much new. Toppin’s motor, dunks, and passing were displayed in this first preseason game. They’re not new attributes but friendly reminders of how he became a fan favorite. Isaiah Hartenstein: 8 PTS (3/5 FG, 2/3 3PT), 1 AST, 7 REB, 2 STL, 2 TO in 27 mins New York is gonna like Isaiah Hartenstein. He protected the interior and chased after boards with energy throughout his minutes. The big man hit a pair of three-pointers in quick succession to display the new dimension he’ll add to the offense. Stack his motor, defensive play, and spacing ability together for a player New Yorkers will appreciate. I think the Robinson/Hartenstein tandem could become a real treat for fans and a nightmare for opponents. He played a solid complementary role to the rest of the scorers. Julius Randle: 15 PTS (6/10 FG, 2/4 3PT, 1/2 FT), 4 AST, 6 REB in 18 mins Many of my favorite aspects of Julius Randle’s performance aren’t showing in his stat line. He got into his defensive assignments, didn’t force shots, and did most of his damage on the interior.
