For the first time since the 2011-12 season, two of their players were selected as All-NBA selections. Jalen Brunson made the second team and Karl-Anthony Towns the third team. For Brunson, it was his second consecutive second-team selection, while Towns has been on the third team three times now.

Those two led the Knicks to 51 wins and the conference finals, but the defense was not good enough, even with Mitchell Robinson.
