Having a core of Brunson, Barrett, and Randle is fine because all of their shooting will eventually get into the range of league average, but they need to be surrounded by more shooting. Reddish’s breakout has been great but he’s no shooter. Mitch obviously doesn’t offer any offense outside of dunks. Knicks tightened bench includes Rose, Quickley, Toppin and Hartenstein and all of them shoot 3s but only Toppin seems to be above league average overall. Getting grimes in there somewhere (replacing Rose in the rotation from time to time) should help. Fournier is one of the better shooters in the league but gives up too much on the other end, which is the same with many of the attainable specialists in the league. Clearly getting a shooter isn’t enough, it has to be a shooter that provides some resistance on the other end of the floor. I keep going back to Myles Turner as an option because he’s a league average 3pt shooter at the center position and I feel like the alternative to having a couple elite shooters is at least having league average shooting at all 5 positions. Knicks being able to play 5 out without losing anything defensively would make a difference. But if not that, we need another option. Internal development may be the only real option. Quickley, Cam, and grimes all have shot in the upper 30s percentage wise from 3pt and Toppin seems to be headed that way. If you can get 4 guys in a 9 man rotation to do that than they can survive and become a league average shooting team in percentage and volume, but at some point they need to start going in. The good news is this team is .500 with the worst 3pt shooting team thus far in the league outside of the lakers, so that’s a positive.

Cam and IQ were coming into the league as 3 point shooters extraordinaire. True, they try to contribute in other ways, but why step away from their forte? EF is also no slouch. I don't think we necessarily lack people with shooting acumen potential. We have them. Maybe the offensive schemes need to generate more open looks for them? So far, it is mostly Obi and Randle that get the good looks from beyond the arc.

Move RJ if it’s available

Sit RJ until he back healthy. Problem solved. You’re welcome.

Need to look no further than the top 3 point shooting teams in the league to find a trend. I haven't looked but I bet that those teams also pass really well and a large number of those 3s come off of passes. So we need a better offensive system to improve our passing ...
