HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight
| PLAYER NAME | ROLE TIER | MPG | USAGE TIER | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG + BPG) | IMPACT INDEX | NOTES | AWARDS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carmelo Anthony | Starter/Star | 34.3 | High | 22.4 | 5.9 | 2.9 | 1.3 | 85.01 | Primary scoring hub in Jeff Hornacek’s offense, Anthony carried a heavy shot-creation burden and still produced 22.4 points per game. Much of New York’s half-court attack flowed through his isolation work, post-ups, and spot-up shooting, making him the clear focal point on a roster that struggled for consistency. (Wikipedia) | NBA All-Star 2017 |
| Kristaps Porziņģis | Starter/Star | 32.8 | High | 18.1 | 7.2 | 1.5 | 2.7 | 77.62 | Stretch big with rim-protection value, Porziņģis blended floor spacing and shot blocking in his second NBA season. His 2.0 blocks per game anchored the defense, while his outside shooting created matchup problems that hinted at future star potential. (Diario AS) | |
| Derrick Rose | Starter/Star | 32.5 | High | 18.0 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 1.0 | 71.81 | Attack-first point guard who relied on downhill drives rather than perimeter volume. Rose regained much of his burst after injuries, providing rim pressure and transition scoring while handling primary playmaking duties for large stretches of the season. (Wikipedia) | |
| Willy Hernangómez | Key Contributor | 18.4 | Medium | 8.2 | 7.0 | 1.3 | 1.1 | 40.19 | Productive rookie center whose touch around the basket and rebounding translated immediately. Despite limited minutes, he consistently generated second-chance opportunities and efficient interior scoring whenever he entered the rotation. (Wikipedia) | NBA All-Rookie First Team 2017, Rookie of the Year Voting (5th) |
| Courtney Lee | Starter/Star | 31.9 | Medium | 10.8 | 3.4 | 2.3 | 1.4 | 43.08 | Low-maintenance two-way wing who filled gaps around higher-usage teammates. Lee supplied efficient perimeter shooting, dependable point-of-attack defense, and strong floor spacing that helped balance New York’s starting lineup. (Wikipedia) | |
| Brandon Jennings | Key Contributor | 24.6 | Medium | 8.6 | 2.6 | 4.9 | 1.0 | 39.27 | Change-of-pace reserve guard whose value came more from creation than scoring efficiency. Jennings energized second units by pushing tempo and generating assists, often serving as the offense’s primary organizer off the bench. (Wikipedia) | |
| Joakim Noah | Starter/Star | 22.1 | Medium | 5.0 | 8.8 | 2.2 | 1.5 | 42.11 | Defensive-minded center whose offensive numbers understated his influence. Noah focused on screening, rebounding, interior communication, and facilitating from the high post, though injuries limited his overall impact during the season. (Wikipedia) | |
| Kyle O’Quinn | Key Contributor | 15.6 | Medium | 6.3 | 5.6 | 1.5 | 1.8 | 35.11 | Backup big who packed strong per-minute production into a limited role. O’Quinn protected the rim, cleaned the glass, and finished efficiently inside, often outperforming his modest playing time. (Wikipedia) | |
| Justin Holiday | Key Contributor | 20.0 | Medium | 7.7 | 2.7 | 1.2 | 1.2 | 29.57 | Energy wing whose versatility allowed him to fill several roles. Holiday provided transition activity, catch-and-shoot spacing, and defensive effort while appearing in all 82 games. (Wikipedia) | |
| Lance Thomas | Key Contributor | 21.0 | Low | 6.0 | 3.1 | 0.8 | 0.6 | 22.05 | Defensive specialist who accepted a low-usage assignment. Thomas focused on guarding multiple positions and making simple offensive reads rather than creating his own offense. (Wikipedia) | |
| Mindaugas Kuzminskas | Key Contributor | 14.9 | Low | 6.3 | 1.9 | 1.0 | 0.6 | 20.54 | Skilled international forward who brought movement shooting and offensive versatility to the second unit. His willingness to cut and attack closeouts added variety to the bench attack. (Wikipedia) | |
| Ron Baker | Key Contributor | 16.5 | Low | 4.1 | 1.9 | 2.1 | 0.9 | 18.90 | Hustle-oriented guard whose contributions leaned toward defense and ball movement. Baker rarely dominated possessions but consistently played within structure and competed on every possession. (Wikipedia) | |
| Chasson Randle | Bench | 12.5 | Low | 5.3 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 0.4 | 17.60 | Small-sample reserve scorer who showed confidence as a perimeter shooter. Randle’s offensive value came from spacing the floor and providing instant offense when called upon. (Wikipedia) | |
| Maurice Ndour | Bench | 10.3 | Low | 3.1 | 2.0 | 0.3 | 0.8 | 12.40 | Athletic reserve forward who supplied energy, defensive activity, and rebounding in brief appearances. His role was largely situational and matchup dependent. (Wikipedia) | |
| Sasha Vujačić | Bench | 9.7 | Low | 3.0 | 1.4 | 1.2 | 0.3 | 11.80 | Veteran depth guard whose main responsibility was floor spacing and stabilizing bench units. Playing time fluctuated as younger perimeter options emerged. (Wikipedia) | |
| Marshall Plumlee | Bench | 8.1 | Low | 1.9 | 2.4 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 10.40 | Developmental center used primarily for frontcourt depth. Plumlee’s minutes focused on rebounding, screening, and interior physicality rather than offensive production. (Wikipedia) | |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 242.1 | — | 104.3 | 45.2 | 21.8 | 12.6 | 577.47 | 2016-17 New York Knicks: 31-51 record, featuring a veteran core led by Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, and Kristaps Porziņģis. The roster mixed established scorers with developing young talent but missed the playoffs. (Wikipedia) | NBA Playoff Appearance: No |
