    No, to many average to horrible defenders. There's only so much Tyson can do. Even if Shumpert never got injured and wasn't coming back from his injury I'd say no. He'll probablly start to have a domainant impact defensively in around his 3rd or 4th season though. They'll be top 8-10 for sure though.

    Top 2?

    Lmao!

    They won't be better than Miami, Boston, or Chicago.

    They might not even be better than philly or Indy.

    a few things one, please stop starting these threads especially in the nba forum section, two people can't wait to hate on the knicks for a few reasons one is its the new york knicks people are jealous of new york and two us fans give them more and more material....we have to stop giving them a reason to hate. Someone here made a point saying they actually finished 5th last year...i didnt no that but i'm not suprised....melo played the most defense last season then he did in any other season lets be honest...amare is lost but hey he is honest never was taught....someone said felton, kidd and some other knicks were useless on defense..not true felton is pretty damn tuff defender so is kidd....adding camby and kurt sures up our paint....when we get iman we should be set at the wings lets be realistic i think we have a great chance at being a top 5 team defensively (no homer).

    Their 2 best players are awful on defense. That's why they won't be a top 5 defensive team in the league.
