Its not about how many you take its about how many you make.

Thats why I want Crabbe Curry and Forbes. We can use athletes in between some of these guys but if you cannot see the HUGE spot on tell that 3 point % shows--you are missing the game today. We have the three big guys upfront we need guys who cane MAKE 3 point shots at a high% clip to enhance the team.

he did say it's about how many you make and Jose only makes 1.2 3pters a game. He is basically wasting his one good talent. Briggs has it slightly wrong in my opinion. It is about how many you take and how many you make. A team need high volume above average 3pt shooter.

The question is does Phil think the 3 point shot is as important as we do?? I don't think he does. I guess we'll find that out in the not so distant future but if we could come away with two of the guys you mentioned we'd be good and another guy i've been talking about is C.Lee who can shoot the rock and plays good defense.

Yeah that's the easy way out. If you want to know, check out his former team's stats. I know that others have posted stats to show that his teams had some of the top offensive efficient stats out there. No need to come to a conclusion that may not be correct when info is out there for you.

What Im looking for is high 2% and high3 % not every players needs to be a 3 points hooter--for example Livingston and Igudola--they are the pieces in between. Also there is no doubt in my mind that we need to play Carmelo less--it has to be a priority to get him less minutes so he can increase his FG%--he gets too tired.

Its the teams--the teams have the best 3 point shooting and most efficient overall scoring. Like Clev--Lebron 2 point shooting is one of the best in the NBA--not a great 3 point shooting player--but several of his teammates are able to play off his 2 point % and get good 3's and hit them. You need both.

your comment here makes sense, but a lot of your comments seem to suggest paying the money to the 3 point guy

personally, i think the problem with the "most important stat" approach is there's not a good one to show a player's overall balance. Defense, offense, shooting, passing, overall consistency game-to-game and the little stuff that never gets recorded like skinned knees and selfless play

more than 3 pointers, the knicks need vastly improved defense from the guards. That will create easier buckets for us, more wins, less playing helter skelter to catch up (which again yields poor offensive play);

nixluva wrote:The Knicks have been working with our guards on shooting. Clearly that would include 3pt shooting. Grant and Wroten having worked with H2O on shooting is one example of their level of concern.

Also Phil has had some really good 3pt shooters over the years. Hodges, Paxson and Kerr in particular. Even tho the amount of 3pt attempts has been growing it's obvious that Phil's teams did use the 3pt shot at an above average level until he last 2 years when we haven't really had a lot of confident 3pt shooting players. I suspect that we'll see the number of 3's increase as the talent improves.

Im looking for more innate shooters to enhance our club.
