The New York Knicks officially announced the team's free-agent signings Friday, headlined by 6-foot-11 center Joakim Noah. Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, Brandon Jennings, Willy Hernangomez, and Marshall Plumlee rounded out the group.

Noah and Lee figure to be the biggest acquisitions for New York, with both likely being used in head coach Jeff Hornacek's starting lineup. Noah averaged 4.3 points and 5.8 rebounds for the Chicago Bulls last season, while Lee averaged 9.6 points and 2.3 rebounds for the Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Hornets.

The Knicks have experienced a high degree of turnover from last year's roster, with Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle O'Quinn, and Lance Thomas the only mainstays from 2015-16. New York had been active even before free agency began, acquiring former-MVP Derrick Rose from the Bulls prior to the NBA Draft.
