23. New York Knicks (25-45)

The New York Knicks are 1-9 in their last 10 games and have absolutely fallen off a cliff as of late. This is not surprising considering that they lost Kristaps Porzingis for the season, and simply don’t have the talent to hold their own.

But this has been bad. Especially after the way this team started the season. At one point, they had the look of a sneaky playoff team. It clearly wasn’t sustainable.

Now, the Knicks need to focus on making the right call when the draft comes around. And that’s not something that has come easy for New York over the last few years.
