| Julius Randle | Starter/Star | 37.6 | High | 24.1 | 10.2 | 6.0 | 1.2 | 109.30 | Offensive hub of New York’s attack, operating as a point-forward who created shots, initiated half-court sets, and carried the scoring burden. His jump to 41.1% from three opened the floor, while 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists powered a surprise playoff team. (The Strickland) | Most Improved Player 2021, NBA All-Star 2021, All-NBA Second Team 2021, MVP Voting 8th (2021) |
| RJ Barrett | Starter/Star | 34.9 | High | 17.6 | 5.8 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 72.86 | Slashing wing scorer who took a major efficiency step forward in his second season.

| Derrick Rose | Key Contributor | 26.8 | High | 14.9 | 2.9 | 4.2 | 1.3 | 58.21 | Instant-offense sixth man who stabilized bench units and frequently closed games. Rose’s downhill creation and veteran shot-making gave New York a different tempo whenever the offense stalled in the half court. | Sixth Man of the Year Voting 3rd (2021), MVP Voting 9th (2021) |
| Alec Burks | Key Contributor | 25.6 | Medium | 12.7 | 4.6 | 2.2 | 0.9 | 47.10 | Versatile reserve guard who supplied microwave scoring and floor spacing. Burks routinely filled multiple backcourt roles, stretching defenses with efficient three-point shooting while providing secondary playmaking. | — |
| Reggie Bullock | Starter/Star | 30.0 | Medium | 10.9 | 3.4 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 40.66 | Low-maintenance 3-and-D starter whose value extended beyond the box score. Bullock guarded opposing perimeter threats nightly and punished help defenses by knocking down over 41% of his threes. | — |
| Mitchell Robinson | Starter/Star | 27.5 | Medium | 8.3 | 8.1 | 0.5 | 2.6 | 37.15 | Rim-running center whose impact came through vertical spacing and interior defense. Robinson finished efficiently around the basket and remained one of the roster’s best shot blockers when healthy. | — |
| Nerlens Noel | Key Contributor | 24.2 | Low | 5.1 | 6.4 | 0.7 | 3.3 | 32.55 | Defensive specialist who anchored the paint during Robinson’s absences. Noel’s shot blocking, active hands, and rim protection helped maintain one of the league’s strongest defenses. | — |
| Elfrid Payton | Starter/Star | 23.6 | Medium | 10.1 | 3.4 | 3.2 | 0.8 | 28.31 | Traditional pass-first point guard who focused on getting teammates organized and pushing pace in transition. His value was tied more to ball handling and play initiation than perimeter scoring. | — |
| Immanuel Quickley | Key Contributor | 19.4 | Medium | 11.4 | 2.1 | 2.0 | 0.7 | 29.57 | Aggressive scoring guard who brought instant energy off the bench. Quickley’s deep shooting range and signature floater created offense in short bursts, giving New York a needed spark unit. | NBA All-Rookie Second Team 2021 |
| Taj Gibson | Key Contributor | 20.8 | Low | 5.4 | 5.6 | 0.8 | 1.8 | 28.98 | Veteran interior presence whose communication and positioning elevated second-unit defense. Gibson rarely needed touches but consistently delivered screens, rebounds, and timely rim protection. | — |
| Austin Rivers | Bench | 21.0 | Low | 7.3 | 2.2 | 2.0 | 0.6 | 24.20 | Combo guard who supplied occasional shot creation and perimeter scoring before his midseason departure. His ability to generate offense off the dribble helped fill gaps in the rotation early in the year. | — |
| Obi Toppin | Bench | 11.0 | Low | 4.1 | 2.2 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 14.60 | Athletic reserve forward who thrived in transition and as a cutter. Playing behind Randle limited his opportunities, but his energy and finishing ability flashed developmental upside. | — |
| Kevin Knox | Bench | 11.0 | Low | 3.9 | 1.5 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 12.60 | Floor-spacing forward used primarily in a limited reserve role. Knox provided occasional shooting punch but struggled to carve out a consistent place in a deep wing rotation. | — |
| Frank Ntilikina | Bench | 9.8 | Low | 2.7 | 0.9 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 9.60 | Defense-first guard whose value centered on perimeter containment and versatility. Offensive opportunities were limited, but he remained a situational option against difficult backcourt matchups. | — |
| Dennis Smith Jr. | Bench | 9.3 | Low | 3.0 | 0.7 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 11.40 | Athletic guard who appeared briefly before moving out of the rotation. In limited minutes he provided defensive pressure and downhill attacking ability. | — |
| Norvel Pelle | Bench | 5.8 | Low | 1.2 | 1.2 | 0.1 | 0.8 | 6.60 | Emergency depth center whose primary contribution came as a shot blocker around the rim. Small sample size, but his defensive instincts remained evident. | — |
| Ignas Brazdeikis | Bench | 1.8 | Low | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 2.60 | End-of-bench wing who saw very limited action. Most of his season was spent outside the regular rotation as New York prioritized veteran contributors. | — |
| Jared Harper | Bench | 2.0 | Low | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.1 | 0.0 | 1.60 | Depth point guard used sparingly in brief appearances. His role was largely organizational and developmental rather than rotational. | — |

| Julius Randle | Starter/Star | 36.0 | High | 18.0 | 11.6 | 4.0 | 0.6 | 90.29 | Point-forward focal point of the offense, but Atlanta crowded his driving lanes and forced difficult jumpers throughout the series. Even while averaging a double-double, his 29.8% shooting reflected how successfully the Hawks loaded up on New York’s primary creator. | — |
| Derrick Rose | Key Contributor | 35.0 | High | 19.4 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 0.6 | 73.58 | Attack-minded lead guard who often looked like the Knicks’ most reliable offensive engine in this matchup. Rose repeatedly got into the paint, generated clean looks late in possessions, and led the team in scoring despite beginning the series in a reserve role. | — |
| RJ Barrett | Starter/Star | 32.4 | High | 14.4 | 7.2 | 3.0 | 1.2 | 67.06 | Physical two-way wing whose series was a mix of growing pains and flashes of promise. Barrett contributed on the glass and defended multiple positions, though Atlanta’s defensive pressure made perimeter scoring difficult for the second-year starter. | — |
| Alec Burks | Key Contributor | 25.6 | Medium | 14.0 | 5.0 | 2.6 | 0.2 | 50.36 | Instant-offense scorer who gave New York needed shot creation off the bench. His ability to attack closeouts and manufacture points helped stabilize second units when the half-court offense bogged down. | — |
| Taj Gibson | Key Contributor | 27.6 | Low | 5.0 | 7.0 | 0.8 | 2.6 | 32.34 | Veteran interior anchor who played with notable physicality and defensive discipline. Gibson’s rebounding, rim contests, and communication helped keep the frontcourt organized against Atlanta’s spread attack. | — |
| Reggie Bullock | Starter/Star | 32.4 | Medium | 8.8 | 3.4 | 1.2 | 0.8 | 34.12 | Floor-spacing wing asked to chase elite perimeter scorers while maintaining his shooting role. The defensive workload remained heavy, but his offensive rhythm never fully carried over from the regular season. | — |
| Nerlens Noel | Key Contributor | 18.4 | Low | 4.6 | 4.0 | 0.2 | 1.4 | 21.42 | Defensive specialist whose value centered on rim protection and help defense. Limited offensive involvement kept his statistical footprint modest, but he still altered shots around the basket. | — |
| Obi Toppin | Bench | 13.0 | Low | 6.4 | 2.6 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 19.20 | Energy forward who brought pace, cutting, and transition finishing whenever he entered the game. His activity level stood out, particularly in short bursts against second-unit lineups. | — |
| Immanuel Quickley | Bench | 15.4 | Low | 5.8 | 1.4 | 1.0 | 0.6 | 17.60 | Change-of-pace scoring guard who struggled to find consistent offensive rhythm. Atlanta’s length limited his pull-up opportunities, though he still flashed the deep shooting range that fueled his rookie campaign. | — |
| Kevin Knox | Bench | 4.0 | Low | 2.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 10.00 | Deep reserve forward who appeared briefly and made the most of limited minutes. Small sample aside, his contribution came from activity rather than shot volume. | — |
| Elfrid Payton | Bench | 6.5 | Low | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 3.00 | Traditional point guard whose role evaporated quickly as the series progressed. New York shifted toward more offense-oriented lineups, leading to a sharp reduction in his minutes. | — |
| Frank Ntilikina | Bench | 1.3 | Low | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | Defensive-minded reserve used almost exclusively in situational assignments. His brief appearances reflected matchup-specific decisions rather than a regular rotation role. | — |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 240.0 | — | 97.0 | 46.4 | 18.6 | 8.6 | 419.97 | New York’s offense never consistently solved Atlanta’s defensive game plan, averaging 97.0 points per game in the series. Strong individual stretches from Derrick Rose were offset by inefficient team shooting and limited half-court creation outside the primary ball handlers. | Eastern Conference First Round Appearance (2021) |
