The New York Knicks have improved as a shooting team, but not enough to be a dominant perimeter-scoring offense. They’re shooting 37.3% from 3 (11th best) compared to 33.7% from 3 last year. The issue? They have only 28.3 attempts a game (2nd worst) which is why the percentage can be fool’s gold. They can’t space the floor well enough for players (like RJ Barrett) to utilize their slashing abilities. Teams can stack the paint against the Knicks and force the Knicks to shoot, but if the Knicks added a high-volume shooter, they’d be able to eliminate this defensive tactic and drastically improve offensively.
