New York Knicks

Patrick Ewing's bruising 1990s teams and the perpetual energy of the Garden's biggest stage.

The Knicks pool is anchored by Patrick Ewing and the bruising 1990s teams that made Madison Square Garden the loudest building in basketball. Those squads embodied the era — physical defense, a dominant center, and a grind-it-out half-court game that could drag any opponent into the mud.

Drafting New York leans toward interior strength and toughness rather than perimeter flash. Build around the size and defense the pool offers, win the rebounding battle, and you will have a roster that fits the bruising 1990s style the engine still rewards with extra possessions.
