Related Topics: Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson

Looking back through the years, one reoccurring theme for the New York Knicks has been their lack of ball movement. The proof is in the numbers, going back to the 2018-2019 season. Let’s look at how the Knicks have ranked in assists per game since that season:

  • 2018-19: 20.1 assists per game (30th)
  • 2019-20: 22.1 assists per game (27th)
  • 2020-21: 21.4 assists per game (29th)
  • 2021-22: 21.9 assists per game (30th)

Those statistics are...not great.
