Despite being a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft in 2013, New York Knicks point guard Trey Burke has struggled to find his rhythm as a professional.
With the Washington Wizards, Burke only managed to complete 53% of his shots near the rim; for a point guard, that’s abysmal. With the Knicks in 2017, that percentage skyrocketed to 71%. Being an efficient scorer near the basket will allow head coach David Fizdale to operate his offense in a more open style, enabling Kevin Knox to work off of Burke’s speed.
Burke’s two point shot percentage increase by over 10% from 2016 to 2017.
