Carmelo Anthony has praised the quality that the New York Knicks have added to their roster in the off-season.
The Knicks won just 17 games in the 2014-15 campaign, and as a result were expected to be active in the free-agent market.
Derek Fisher's men added Robin Lopez, Derrick Williams, Kyle O'Quinn and Arron Affalo, as well as selecting forward Kristaps Porzingis in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft.
Although the Knicks missed out on several high-profile players, Anthony has revealed that he is pleased with the signings his side have made.
"Honestly, I thought we did a great job just as far as putting the pieces that we need to put together," Anthony told reporters. "We didn't get DeAndre [Jordan], we didn't get LaMarcus [Aldridge] and Greg Monroe, but [Robin] Lopez is a great addition.
"Arron Afflalo, I played with him a long time in Denver. [Kyle] O'Quinn is a great pickup; I think guys will like him. He's a big guy, power forward. Derrick Williams, we're going to get him right.
"He seemed focused. And then rookies, KP [Porzingis], I had him with me last week working out at my gym. We're just trying to start this thing off right."
Anthony averaged 24.2 points per game for the Knicks last season.
