Knicks roster after the Karl-Anthony Towns trade: Here's the depth chart and starting 5 for 2024-25

What an offseason it’s been for the New York Knicks.

They traded for another Villanova star in Mikal Bridges and now made a deal for Karl-Anthony Towns with the Minnesota Timberwolves star heading closer to his native New Jersey. They’ve certainly got the parts of a championship-caliber roster on paper, though we’ll see if that plays out.

After all of that, what does the Knicks roster look like? And what will the depth chart and starting five look like? Glad you asked. Let’s run through it real quick and see if we can play Tom Thibodeau for a sec after the KAT deal:

The Knicks starting five

Jalen Brunson

Mikal Bridges

OG Anunoby

Josh Hart

Karl-Anthony Towns

Intriguing. Hart proved he could rebound last postseason, so this isn’t as weird as it looks.

The Knicks’ depth chart

PG: Jalen Brunson, Cameron Payne, Tyler Kolek

SG: Mikal Bridges, Miles McBride, Landry Shamet, Pacome Dadiet

SF: OG Anunoby, Keita Bates-Dip, Chuma Okeke

PF: Josh Hart, Precious Achiuwa, Marcus Morris Sr.

C: Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchel Robinson, Jericho Sims, Ariel Hukporti

Note that Robinson will slide to starting center when healthy and that’ll presumably bump KAT to the 4.
