The franchise began by drafting Hilton Armstrong in the first round of the 2006 NBA draft.
Several coaches were signed , and the Knicks started off optimistic about the outcome of the season. This optimism quickly faded though , with a blowout loss to Memphis.
Many of the Knicks games later on would resemble the Memphis game : Poor offense , low scoring , and poor shooting. The Knicks continued to get blown out as they struggled to adapt to a new style of play. Eventually , the Knicks finally got their first win against Houston, but soon continued their losing ways. The Knicks at one point were 2-10 , many of the games being embarassing blowouts and lackluster offensive efforts. In one win against Miami , the only reason the Knicks won was Marbury's 45 points , no one else contributed much to the effort. Angered by the lack of offense and poor play , the Knicks traded Steve Francis to Denver for Kenyon Martin. The Knicks managed to win 2 straight , and are now 4-10.
Favored Players on New York
Stephon Marbury - Initially benched out of rage for comments last year regarding "Starbury" , but saw more playing time when it became apparent he was the only player on New York who could actually hit a shot.
Maurice Taylor - Even though he isn't on the Knicks anymore in real life , Taylor has played well during his Knicks tenure. During the 2 game streak Taylor has been beneficial to the team , contributing 15-20 points.
Kenyon Martin - In his return to New York (although with a different team) Martin has adjusted to the new system and is a great supporting cast member on the team. In addition , he provides , along with Curry , great shot blocking and strong defense under the rim.
Eddy Curry - Defensive center who blocks shots , and scores points.
Players in the Dog House
Quentin Richardson - Poor effort and inability to hit shots drew ire from Isiah Thomas , and Richardson does not start as often. He is showing some signs of improvement , but continues to sit on the bench.
