Karl-Anthony Towns is having his worst season on the offensive end since he was a rookie. While he remains inclined to attribute his struggles to the New York Knicks’ system under head coach Mike Brown, there is another equally, if not more, important factor impacting his performance.
He’s not making his wide-open threes.
KAT is currently knocking down just 33.8 percent of his uncontested triples, which are defined as any attempts from beyond the arc in which a defender is six or more feet away. Out of 99 players who have launched as many wide-open threes, his efficiency on these looks ranks 88th.
