Knicks' shocking transformation is already proving why Mike Brown was right hire

Last season, the New York Knicks finished No. 22 in the league in catch-and-shoot made three-pointers, with an average of 9.1. So far this season, the Knicks are first in the league in that category, averaging 13.6 per game. It's only a seven-game sample size, but New York is headed in the direction that the organization envisioned when it agreed to hire Mike Brown to replace Tom Thibodeau.

The Knicks also rank No. 10 in the league in assist percentage at 65.2%, after finishing seventeenth in the league in that category last season. As the numbers show, New York has an offense under Brown that is built around ball movement and shooting more threes.
