Following the season, head coach Larry Brown was fired after spending only one season with the team. Isiah Thomas, the Knicks' general manager, was named head coach for the 2006–07 season.

Draft Selections in 2005:

Channing Frye:

He’s been a solid player for teams in the league. But his career doesn’t stick out. Although, he was drafted number 8. He never had the career, that he had in Arizona. So, what I’m trying to say is he’s a player you could depend on. He also won the 2016 NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

David Lee:

He was the best player out of all of the three draft selections the Knicks had. Well, Lee obviously won the 2015 NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors. He also averaged 20.1 PPG with the Knicks in the 2009-10 NBA season. That would be his last season with the Knicks. Then, he started to deal with injuries.

Dijon Thompson:

Never played a game in New York so there’s not much to say. And considering he was a second rounder. He wouldn’t even be in much rosters in the NBA during his playing days.
