On a top-heavy Knicks roster, McBride emerged as a spark plug off the bench during the 2024-25 season. He saw his role expand to 24.9 minutes per game in 64 regular-season appearances, resulting in career-highs across the board with 9.5 points, 2.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals per contest. While the counting stats trended upward, the guard's efficiency dipped -- he shot 40.6 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from beyond the arc and 81.3 percent from the free-throw line, each mark down roughly five percentage points from his breakout 2023-24 campaign. New York retained the majority of their key rotation pieces from last season, particularly on the perimeter, with star Jalen Brunson still leading the way alongside Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart. The front office also bolstered the roster's depth this offseason, adding Jordan Clarkson to the backcourt and Guerschon Yabusele to the frontcourt, while hoping Tyler Kolek develops into a reliable rotation piece in his sophomore year. McBride should remain an important reserve thanks to his plug-and-play skill set, capable of thriving whether he's asked to create his own offense, take on more scoring responsibility, or simply complement higher-usage teammates, all while bringing disruptive defense. However, Clarkson's arrival as a score-first presence could limit McBride's overall touches and cap his fantasy ceiling. Even so, he remains a key contributor for a Knicks team aiming for a championship, and McBride's real-life value to the roster should remain high even if his nightly statistical output is limited when the team is at full strength.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Miles James "Deuce" McBride was born in September of 2000 in Cincinnati. He is the Son of Walt and Kim McBride, who were both college athletes. Walt played basketball at Xavier and Kim played tennis at Ohio State. McBride was a varsity basketball player and starting quarterback at Moeller High School in Cincinnati. As a senior, McBride averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest and led Moeller to a second DI state championship. The point guard then committed to West Virginia University. He was a Mountaineer for two years As a freshman, McBride earned both Big 12 All-Freshman Team and Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team honors. As a sophomore, he averaged 15.9 points and 4.8 assists per game and earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors. McBride then declared himself for the 2021 NBA Draft and was selected by the Thunder with the 36th overall pick. He was then traded to the New York Knicks and signed a contract in August.
ANALYSIS After missing New York's last five games due to what the team called left ankle injury management, it has been revealed that McBride is dealing with a sports hernia. The 25-year-old guard is without a clear timetable for a return, but he shouldn't be expected to return until early April at the very earliest. With McBride sidelined, Tyler Kolek, Jose Alvarado (recently traded) and Jordan Clarkson are candidates for increased playing time.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
McBride was selected by the Knicks with the 36th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. A relentless defender at the college level, McBride resembles another former West Virginia standout, Jevon Carter, in many ways. Like Carter, McBride is a bit undersized, but he makes up for it with toughness, quickness and athleticism. McBride averaged 15.9 points per game and shot 41.4 percent from three-point range as a sophomore last season, but if he's going to stick in the NBA, it will be because of his defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Praises his defensive ability
GNew York Knicks
January 10, 2026
McBride recently revealed that he believes he can be an elite defender in the NBA. "I know I can be one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the NBA," he said, according to Jared Schwartz of The New York Post. "I believe in myself, I believe that guarding really gets us going, gets us out in transition."
ANALYSIS McBride initially struggled to secure a regular role in the Knicks' rotation, but he's now a steady member of the team's backcourt. McBride is known for his three-point shooting, as he's making a career-best 45 percent of his treys this season, but he's also taking pride in what he can do on the opposite end of the court.
