1 New York Knicks big the Charlotte Hornets should target in free agency

As a part of our series detailing which players the Charlotte Hornets should target in NBA free agency, our attention shifts to the New York Knicks. The Knicks finished with a 37-45 record, which earned them an 11th-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Despite making the playoffs as a four seed last year, this season’s squad fell well below their potential.

Strangely, the Knicks have hardly any free agents in the 2022 offseason. As a part of their 2020-21 success, they secured the majority of their guys for the future, which left the 2022 offseason relatively decision-free. That being said, they do have one major piece hitting the open market.

Mitchell Robinson, the team’s starting center, is set to becoming an unrestricted free agent in the coming months. Although Robinson is 24-years-old, the young center has already made a name for himself as an elite rim-protector and shot-blocker. He is bound to earn more than the $1.6 million he procured this season.
