Episode 12: Season Expectations

Episode 12: Season Expectations

The Cris & Kris duo are back with our season expectations. We touched up on everything that has happened throughout the offseason. Draft night was a big night for the Knicks and all of the fans who followed the draft closely. They ultimately drafted Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley. We spoke about both players and the rest of the free agent signings that were brought on to the team, such as Nerlens Noel, Austin Rivers and Alec Burks. It was important for us to talk about what we expect out of our young core and what we realistically would like to see out of them.
