1: SF Marcus Morris Sr.

The Knicks could bring back Marcus Morris Sr, who played with the team during the 2019-20 season. Morris Sr. has played with several teams, most recently the Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and shot 43.9 percent from the field.

He played a significant role in Cleveland's postseason run as he jumped Georges Niang in the Cavaliers' playoff rotation. Morris Sr. was impressive in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, scoring 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting while Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen were injured. Morris Sr. showed, even at 34, that he could play well and kept the Cavs in that game.

Morris Sr. is an excellent shooter and can use his size as a power forward or rim-protecting center, even at his age. He brings a level of toughness that many NBA teams have and has experience playing in New York with the Knicks. Morris Sr. is also affordable for the Knicks and could be a solid big man off the bench.
