After misfiring on 20 of 30 chances from long distance in Sunday’s loss to Memphis, the Knicks sit dead last in the NBA in 3-point percentage.
Tom Thibodeau placed an emphasis this season for the Knicks to attempt more 3-point shots, but they clearly need to start converting more of them to improve on a 9-11 record at the ostensible quarter turn of the 82-game schedule. , the Knicks sit dead last in the NBA in 3-point percentage at 31.6 percent entering their game Tuesday in Detroit.
“So, I want us to continue to focus on that. And the screening off the ball, the flares, the screen-ins, that sort of thing — to create those shots. I thought we had a number of those plays [Sunday] and I want us to continue to do that.” Noah K. Murray-NY Post The biggest culprit among the Knicks’ rotation regulars continues to be small forward RJ Barrett, who is shooting 19.0 percent from long range over his past eight games and 26.8 percent overall. The latter figure is down from 34.2 percent last season and significantly below Barrett’s career high of 40.1 percent in 2020-21. Still, Barrett is far from alone. The only rotation regulars even slightly above the aforementioned league average of 35.5 percent are Obi Toppin and Derrick Rose .
Evan Fournier set a franchise record last season with 241 made 3s, and the veteran shooting guard finished with a strong 38.9 shooting percentage from beyond the arc. But Fournier, who is earning $18 million this season, hasn’t played a minute in the past seven games since Nov. 13.
