If the Knicks are not going to defend the 3pt line we better get better shooters. Was getting rid of Randle a mistake?

Listen I don't post much anymore but Im reading you guys posts almost everyday. Our defense is bad and our bench shooting so far is not good. Randle was the type of guy I saw who could knock down 3 pointers. If we are still having trouble defending the 3 point line and players driving to the basket on us then we at least have some shooters who can trade baskets with. I know that the season is young but our second unit is having trouble scoring and defending. Should we bring back a scorer like Randle who at least help score some points.

Randle face be broke. He out like a month or so.
Basically he lost momentum and we'll have to see what becomes of his situation.

He still will be able to work out but what I am trying to say is for the past 3 years or more we've been struggling defending the 3 point line and scoring in many games. I believe if you can't defend then you must be able to shoot.

We need a wing or two. I did NOT like playing Willy Hernangomez with KOQ. That doesn't work in the modern NBA.

Look at the Spurs team - so many wings. That Jonathon Simmons kid is fantastic and he's like the third SG on their depth chart.

Putting Willy n Quinn in the same lineup was the only brightest thing coach Horn did.
Taking Willy out after 3 or 4 minutes was a dum move (not letting Rookie Willy warm up for 7 minutes.)
Putting Lance Thomas in as the PF to score and defend on opponent 6.9 Thompson, 6.10 Love, 6.9 Lebron, was another dum move by coach Horn .. Lance couldnt even score or defend 6.8 Jefferson. SORRY!

Our 6th, 7th, and 8th man off the bench should have been Jennings, Sasha, and Quinn.
I'm sorry to say our new Head-Coach Horn is incompetent .. it showed throughout all his preseason games.

I agree 100% on Jonathon Simmons outstanding performance on both sides of the court vs the GS Warriors.
All the Warriors guards feared being defended by Simmons in that game .. When Simmons pinned Curry's fastbreak layup on the glass i shook my head and thought about us giving C.Lee $10M per for 4 years

neither rose or jennings can shoot, and they can't defend a lick either.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Then we just may be doomed.
