The New York Knicks have already utilized three of their four rookies this season, with Kevin McCullar Jr. sidelined due to injury. Tyler Kolek, Ariel Hukporti, and first-round pick Pacome Dadiet have participated in both garbage time and G League games.

Grant Hughes from Bleacher Report awarded the Knicks a 'B' for their rookie class, noting that under Tom Thibodeau's coaching, rookies often see limited playtime. However, the potential for these players to contribute meaningfully exists, especially as the Knicks aim to build a competitive team.
