|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latrell Sprewell | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 40.0 | High (1.2) | 18.6 | 4.3 | 4.0 | 1.6 | 75.24 | As the Knicks’ full-time small forward, Sprewell supplied the team’s most dynamic pressure on the perimeter, attacking in transition and creating offense when possessions broke down. His 1.6 combined steals and blocks reflected the activity that made him useful beyond scoring, while contemporary playoff coverage emphasized how often New York turned to his slashing and open-floor ability. Sporting News | — |
| Patrick Ewing | Franchise Interior Anchor (1.1) | 32.8 | High (1.2) | 15.0 | 9.7 | 0.9 | 2.0 | 72.86 | Ewing was no longer the same mobile offensive force, but the Knicks still leaned on his interior presence, rebounding and defensive gravity. Coverage of the Miami series described him as the heart of New York’s team, while his ability to produce through physical limitations remained a major part of the Knicks’ half-court identity. Washington Post | — |
| Allan Houston | Lead Perimeter Shot Creator (1.1) | 38.6 | High (1.2) | 19.7 | 3.3 | 2.7 | 1.0 | 70.49 | Houston functioned as the Knicks’ cleanest perimeter scoring option, combining controlled pull-up shooting with enough range to stretch defenses. His 43.6% three-point shooting gave New York a reliable release valve around Ewing and Sprewell, and the season marked the clearest shift toward Houston and Sprewell as the team’s principal offensive threats. Daily Knicks | All-Star |
| Marcus Camby | Defensive Change-of-Pace Big (1.05) | 26.2 | Medium (1.1) | 10.2 | 7.8 | 0.8 | 2.7 | 49.67 | Camby gave the Knicks a completely different frontcourt dimension: mobile, springy and capable of erasing mistakes at the rim. His 2.0 blocks per game supported that defensive role, while his knee problems limited him to 59 games; contemporary reporting also highlighted how New York’s offense became faster and more aggressive when its younger bigs were forced into larger roles. The Sporting News | Sixth Man of the Year Voting – 6th |
| Larry Johnson | Stretch-Four Connector (1.05) | 32.6 | Medium (1.1) | 10.7 | 5.4 | 2.5 | 0.7 | 44.58 | Johnson had evolved from the explosive interior scorer of his Charlotte years into a spacing-oriented forward who could still facilitate from the frontcourt. His perimeter responsibilities mattered to New York’s spacing, while his toughness and willingness to absorb difficult defensive assignments remained valuable as the Knicks repeatedly played through physical, low-margin games. Los Angeles Times | — |
| Kurt Thomas | Interior Utility Forward (1.0) | 24.6 | Medium (1.1) | 8.0 | 6.3 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 36.08 | Thomas was essentially the Knicks’ interior insurance policy, bringing rebounding, physical defense and enough offensive competence to survive extended minutes. His value became clearer whenever Ewing or Camby was unavailable, and contemporary postseason coverage showed Van Gundy trusting him with substantially more responsibility when New York’s frontcourt was depleted. ESPN | — |
| Charlie Ward | Defensive Point Guard (1.05) | 27.6 | Low (1.0) | 7.3 | 3.2 | 4.2 | 1.5 | 34.02 | Ward’s value came from defensive disruption, ball movement and timely shooting rather than high-volume scoring. He could pressure passing lanes without dominating the ball, and his postseason performance showed why Van Gundy trusted him in difficult matchups; one conference-finals win specifically highlighted his rotations, passing-lane activity and ability to change the game’s momentum. Associated Press via ESPN | — |
| Chris Childs | Two-Way Reserve Point Guard (1.0) | 23.6 | Low (1.0) | 5.3 | 2.1 | 4.0 | 0.6 | 24.00 | Childs was the stabilizing reserve behind Ward, handling secondary creation without demanding the offense revolve around him. His willingness to accept the two-point-guard arrangement and come off the bench was specifically noted during the season, while his physical defense and willingness to make difficult plays gave the second unit a harder edge. Yahoo Sports | — |
| John Wallace | Scoring Forward Reserve (1.0) | 13.3 | Low (1.0) | 6.5 | 2.3 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 19.20 | Wallace served as a second-unit scoring forward, capable of giving New York some offensive punch without carrying a major creation burden. His role was limited by the established veteran frontcourt, leaving him primarily as a situational scorer and floor-spacing option rather than a central part of Van Gundy’s rotation. | — |
| Andrew Lang | Veteran Interior Reserve (1.0) | 12.8 | Low (1.0) | 3.1 | 3.2 | 0.2 | 0.7 | 14.40 | Lang’s job was largely functional: provide size, absorb interior minutes and protect the Knicks when injuries forced changes to the center rotation. Contemporary season coverage around New York’s frontcourt focused heavily on the need to fill Ewing’s minutes, underscoring how limited Lang’s offensive responsibilities were within the larger rotation. | — |
| Chris Dudley | Physical Interior Reserve (1.0) | 9.8 | Low (1.0) | 1.2 | 2.9 | 0.1 | 0.5 | 9.40 | Dudley remained a specialist for physical play, rebounding and absorbing difficult center minutes rather than an offensive contributor. His usefulness was tied to toughness and positional size, and he became expendable after the season as New York reshaped its frontcourt around younger and more mobile pieces. | — |
| Rick Brunson | Backup Ball-Handler (1.0) | 7.8 | Low (1.0) | 1.9 | 0.7 | 1.3 | 0.2 | 8.20 | Brunson’s role was narrowly defined as a reserve ball-handler who could steady the offense for short stretches. With Ward and Childs ahead of him, his opportunities were limited, making organization and keeping possessions moving more important than individual production. | — |
| DeMarco Johnson | Emergency Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 7.4 | Low (1.0) | 1.2 | 1.4 | 0.0 | 0.2 | 5.60 | Johnson saw only brief opportunities, functioning as emergency frontcourt depth rather than a regular rotation piece. With New York already carrying Ewing, Camby, Thomas and Dudley, there was little room for a developing power forward to establish a consistent offensive or defensive assignment. | — |
| Mirsad Türkcan | Developmental Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 3.6 | Low (1.0) | 0.6 | 1.4 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 4.80 | Türkcan’s seven appearances came in a crowded veteran frontcourt, leaving him little opportunity to establish a defined NBA role. His minutes were essentially developmental and situational, with rebounding providing the clearest avenue for contribution in very short stretches. | — |
| Etdrick Bohannon | Emergency Stretch-Forward Reserve (1.0) | 2.5 | Low (1.0) | 1.5 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.00 | Bohannon was strictly emergency depth, appearing in only two games and receiving just five total minutes. There was no meaningful rotation responsibility to establish, so his role was essentially limited to covering a frontcourt vacancy when New York needed another body. | — |
| David Wingate | Veteran Emergency Guard (1.0) | 4.6 | Low (1.0) | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 2.80 | Wingate’s contribution was confined to isolated minutes as veteran guard depth. At 36, he provided experience and positional coverage, but the established Ward, Houston, Sprewell and Childs rotation left virtually no regular workload available. | — |
| Team Totals | New York Knicks | 241.8 | — | 92.1 | 40.5 | 19.4 | 10.6 | — | The Knicks’ regular-season rotation was built around Houston and Sprewell’s perimeter scoring, Ewing’s interior presence and a deep defensive-minded frontcourt. | — |

| Latrell Sprewell | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 43.8 | High (1.2) | 18.7 | 4.4 | 3.6 | 1.4 | 74.18 | Sprewell was New York’s most dependable downhill creator when possessions became stagnant, playing enormous minutes while attacking from the wing and defending with active hands. His workload became especially important against Indiana, where he led the Knicks in scoring for the six-game series as the team struggled to generate consistent offense. Sporting News playoff retrospective | — |
| Patrick Ewing | Franchise Interior Anchor (1.1) | 32.9 | High (1.2) | 14.6 | 9.5 | 0.4 | 2.5 | 65.34 | Ewing remained the Knicks’ interior reference point, particularly as a rebounder and paint defender, even though his offensive efficiency deteriorated against playoff defenses. The Miami series showed the value of his interior gravity most clearly: his late dunk in Game 7 put New York ahead for good in an 83-82 clincher. New York Post playoff retrospective | — |
| Allan Houston | Primary Perimeter Scorer (1.1) | 40.9 | High (1.2) | 17.6 | 3.3 | 1.6 | 1.4 | 63.10 | Houston operated as New York’s cleanest half-court scoring option, with his pull-up jumper and three-point shooting providing a needed counter to the physical defenses the Knicks faced. Indiana specifically targeted the Knicks’ depleted perimeter attack, while Houston entered the conference finals already slowed by an ankle problem after the exhausting Miami series. Los Angeles Times playoff coverage | All-Star (2000) |
| Charlie Ward | Defensive Point-of-Attack Guard (1.05) | 27.4 | Medium (1.1) | 9.4 | 4.3 | 4.1 | 1.7 | 45.05 | Ward’s playoff value came from pressure defense, quick decisions and enough shooting to punish defenders who helped off him. Former NBA guard Hersey Hawkins specifically described Ward as the more effective driver of the Knicks’ two point guards and praised his quickness in staying in front of opposing guards, while noting that New York’s primary scoring burden belonged elsewhere. ESPN playoff scouting report | — |
| Larry Johnson | Stretch-Four Secondary Creator (1.05) | 36.8 | Medium (1.1) | 11.3 | 5.0 | 1.6 | 0.6 | 42.74 | Johnson had become a perimeter-oriented power forward, using his strength to attack mismatches while increasingly functioning as a floor-spacing threat. His playoff three-point shooting was particularly useful against Indiana, where he connected on 57.1% from deep and repeatedly forced the Pacers to account for him beyond the arc rather than simply crowding the paint. Sports Illustrated Knicks history feature | — |
| Marcus Camby | Mobile Defensive Big (1.05) | 24.1 | Medium (1.1) | 4.8 | 7.0 | 0.4 | 1.9 | 32.57 | Camby supplied the Knicks with their most mobile defensive frontcourt option, using length and athleticism to protect the rim and chase plays outside the traditional center area. That versatility mattered during the Miami series, but Indiana exposed his offensive limitations; AP coverage of the conference finals noted that he was struggling badly against the Pacers and was unable to provide the scoring punch he had supplied in the previous postseason. CBS News/AP conference-finals coverage | Sixth Man of the Year Voting – 6th |
| Chris Childs | Two-Way Reserve Point Guard (1.0) | 20.9 | Medium (1.1) | 5.4 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 0.4 | 21.00 | Childs was the physical counterpoint to Ward, bringing a harder-edged defensive style and a willingness to attack when the offense stalled. His importance went beyond the box score in Miami: he unexpectedly took over Game 6 against the Heat, scoring 13 straight Knicks points across the late third and early fourth quarters before helping New York survive the elimination game. ESPN/AP Game 6 coverage | — |
| Kurt Thomas | Physical Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 15.7 | Low (1.0) | 4.3 | 3.1 | 0.3 | 0.6 | 16.60 | Thomas was the Knicks’ physical interior insurance, used when New York needed another strong body around the glass and in defensive matchups. His minutes shrank during the postseason, but his reputation for rugged play was firmly established; retrospective reporting has described him as one of the league’s most physically intimidating forwards of that era. Sports Illustrated basketball feature | — |
| Chris Dudley | Interior Physicality Reserve (1.0) | 8.6 | Low (1.0) | 0.8 | 2.4 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 8.00 | Dudley’s playoff role was almost entirely situational, with his value tied to size, rebounding position and physical interior defense rather than offense. New York’s preference for more mobile combinations around Ewing and Camby left him with only five appearances, making him a matchup-specific reserve rather than a regular part of the postseason rotation. Sports Illustrated Knicks history feature | — |
| John Wallace | Emergency Scoring Forward (1.0) | 4.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 4.00 | Wallace was essentially emergency depth by this stage of the postseason, appearing for only four minutes against Indiana. His one-game usage reflected how tightly Jeff Van Gundy shortened the rotation once the conference finals arrived, with the established veteran core handling virtually all meaningful frontcourt minutes. New York Post postseason retrospective | — |
| Rick Brunson | Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) | 1.3 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 1.20 | Brunson’s postseason assignment was strictly emergency ball-handling depth, with only three appearances and four total minutes. The Knicks’ established Ward-Childs rotation left virtually no meaningful point-guard workload available, so his presence was primarily insurance rather than a tactical part of the playoff plan. ESPN playoff scouting report | — |
| Team Totals | New York Knicks | 241.6 | — | 84.4 | 38.4 | 14.6 | 10.6 | — | New York’s postseason identity revolved around Sprewell and Houston creating perimeter offense, Ewing anchoring the interior and Ward, Childs and Camby supplying defensive pressure. The Knicks survived Toronto and a seven-game physical battle with Miami before Indiana’s pace and depth exposed the limits of an increasingly compressed rotation.
