Karl-Anthony Towns is finally getting his Knicks game back on track
NY Post
CLEVELAND — Karl-Anthony Towns’ greatest weapon should be his outside shooting.
And through much of this struggling season, the problem for the 7-footer hasn’t been poor shot selection.
He’s just missing too much.
According to player tracking on NBA.com, the ratio of Towns’ open 3-pointers (when there’s no defender within four feet) is roughly the same as last season. Over 95 percent of his treys are open.
His attempts are a bit reduced — from 4.7 per game to 4.5 — which coach Mike Brown explained Sunday as being indicative of a deeper rotation and fewer minutes for Towns, along with the other starters.
But it’s tougher to explain Towns’ 3-point percentage falling from 42 percent last season to 36.5 percent this season — a year-to-year decline worse than any other in his career.
