Ball Movement
The Knicks offense is still inconsistent. It has moments of brilliance before becoming stagnant and isolation based.
Per NBA.com, they’re third in the league in passes made per game, but just 15th in assists and 22nd in assist to pass percentage.
Through 18 games, Jennings leads the team in assists with 4.9. Rose is right behind at 4.8.
Rose is in the top 20 of the league in passes made per game, but his average assist number and poor turnover number (2.7 per game) contributes to a lack of offensive harmony for the Knicks.
They still tend to drift too much towards iso ball in certain situations. That’s something that’ll need to change as the season progresses.
