Yeah, dont know what happened to Dotson. Thought he would be having a better season. At some point I hope Miller gives Trier some of Dotson's minutes. We need scoring.

He had offseason shoulder surgery, so he couldn't really work on his shot over the summer

It’s his shot selection that is an issue. He’s been decent hitting bad shots but is no longer interested in being the spot up shooter we need him to be.

You guys don't really see progression from Frank, Knox, Mitch, trier, or Dotson.

The have a good game here and there, making you feel like they took a step forward, then resort back to rookie mode.

As am I. Weird part is that his 3point shooting stinks this year while his 16-3pt line is 53%.

But he has definitely not put it together this year and his defense sucks

I just don't understand why all these knicks just want to play from 15-20 feet from the basket, while all other teams are launching threes and going straight to the basket. The only player who plays that way is Barrett. Mills and crew have failed in the culture change they set out to accomplish. Dotson is just one example. We badly need to modernize the style of play. Miller has done a better job than Fizdale, but the Knicks are still way behind the eightball.
