EDGE Analysis

With Kristaps Porzingis (left quad strain) sidelined Monday, Williams and Kyle O'Quinn both received extended chances to audition for the starting power forward job. It was Williams who shined the brightest of the two, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second straight game. Though he did turn over the ball six times, Williams made up for it by showcasing plenty of touch near the rim to go along with impressive range from deep. At the very least, the former No. 2 overall pick is making a strong case for an integral rotation role with the Knicks, as he's averaging 16.7 points on 63 percent shooting from the field during the preseason.
