Richaun Holmes
The New York Knicks have to decide if they want Mitchell Robinson to be a part of their future or not. If he is not the long-term answer at the center position, Richaun Holmes is a good target for the team in free agency.
Holmes has come onto the scene with the Sacramento Kings the last two seasons. He has averaged 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game.
His addition would give the Knicks some more scoring punch in the frontcourt, something they currently lack from their centers.
Outside of lobs and putbacks, the Knicks’ current group of centers didn’t score much, but Holmes you can throw the ball to and he can get a bucket on his own.

His defense is also solid as he would provide good rim protection. The Kings had the worst defensive rating in NBA history during the 2020-21 season, so hopefully putting Holmes in a better defensive system would help him take even more strides on that end of the court.
