I am a huge Knicks fan and after a horrendous shooting game ( especially from down town shooting 7/37 )the other day

it dawned on me they have no real shooters and def no pure shooters , apart from maybe fournier who gets zero minutes

sure they got some players that could make a shot but no real guys that are known or even really excel at shooting

think about it…

  • brunson: score first point guard mostly know for doin damage with those shifty moves in the paint and mid range, sure he hit 8 3s the other day but that clearly was a rarity and not known for his shooting especially…last year was his first real opportunity to be an offensive epicenter so maybe he can still blossom into a shooter but who knows

  • rj barrett: more of a slasher and can thrive at the FT line at times. i love rj and ik he prays and wishes he was a shooter but his formation is awkward and he is very inconsistent

  • julius randle def an okay shooter for a big but clearly has made a living banging in the post and shooting crazy fall aways and shit …he has hit clutch jump shots but obviously nobody considers him a “shooter”

  • mitch robinson: thank god his freethrow % is up this year and hes been workin on it but idek if big mitch has attempted a jump shot in his nba career lol

  • quentin grimes: potentially a shooter and supposedly a 3 & d type beat but hes like the 7th option as a starter and gets like 5 touches a game (no real fault of his own, coach thibs is subpar)

  • immanuel quickley: IQ def can knock it down from all over the map and is one of the best FT shooters in the league…maybe he is their best shooter but idk

  • fresh legs fournier: prolly the only shooter on the team and is apparently unplayable this pt in his careerr

knicks were pitiful shooting wise their last game and they could use some help shooting perhaps

    grimes & quickley will figure it out

    unfortunately it’s odd year julius randle so you’re fucked either way
