Knicks are already delivering on Mike Brown’s boldest promise

Mike Brown promised many things upon joining the New York Knicks. From more three-pointers and a faster pace to deeper rotations and five-out spacing, he set clear expectations for how this team will operate. His most ambitious, not to mention riskiest, goal: injecting more ball movement into the offense.

Mission accomplished.

After throwing 281.2 passes per game last year, the Knicks are tossing 315.6 this season—the fifth most in the league, and a 12 percent increase in overall volume from 2024-25.
