Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Don Leon is rising through the ranks. Many skeptics laughed when former agent Leon Rose took over the New York Knicks’ front office in February 2020.

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports Immanuel Quickley got burned. The Knicks missed Mitchell Robinson. It might not have been apparent immediately after the big man went down with a fractured foot on March 27, as backup centers Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson held down the fort admirably. But neither of them had the size to contend with with Hawks center Clint Capela during the players. It...
