Analysis:

The Knicks' starting power forward slot is up for grabs with Carmelo Anthony the presumptive starting small forward. O'Quinn has spent the summer working on his game at Impact Basketball, primarily strengthening his jumper and implementing a low-post game. He struggled assimilation to power forward last season, and it lead to his demotion from the Magic's rotation. O'Quinn's passing ability and shooting range make him the quintessential triangle offense big man, but he'll have to compete with Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick Williams, and Kevin Seraphin for rotation minutes.
