Who leads the Knicks in Unassisted Dunks

1. DeAndre 167 (31 unassisted) 5th overall in total dunks
2. Mitchell 99 (29 unassisted) 21st overall in total dunks
3. Noah V. 39 (19 unassisted) 80th overall in total dunks

The Knicks are the worst assisting team in the league.

So it follows:

If we keep two of these three guys, and add a premier distributor who can assist some more dunks.. with dunks being made at a 90% clip (with occasional and-1s) the Dunk shot attempt is worth more than the three point shot attempt when you talk expected points. And might be the simplest way to improve 6-8 points a game offensively without changing the offense at all.


(Points if basket made) * (percent chance of making shot)

90% Dunk Attempt 1.80 points per attempt
33% Three pt Attempt .99 points per attempt

Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

Maybe we can run the "alley oop" every other play (which was invented in the ABA by Jackie Moon)
