26. New York Knicks (9-25)
Losers of nine of their last 10, the New York Knicks have quickly fallen down the NBA Power Rankings. This team continues to miss their star closer, Kristaps Porzingis, and it’s becoming more and more apparent that this team still has some growing up to do.
They’re still looking for a second star to stick next to Kristaps, and are still trying to see if any of their young players (Kevin Knox, Frank Ntilikina) are keepers. Dave Fizdale has done what he can under the circumstances, and it wouldn’t be a terrible thing in the world for this team to finish as one of the worst teams in the league.
Plus, there’s that entire Zion Williamson playing in Madison Square Garden element that is everything the Knicks would want to get the buzz back in the building.
