Could the New York Knicks Finally Break Their Finals Drought and Shock the NBA World?

The Knicks basically have all of this. They’ve always had the ponies in the stable. Both Brunson (6th) and Towns (50th) are in the top 50 in the entire NBA in offensive DRIP. And when Mitchell Robinson (1st in the NBA in offensive rebounding percentage) is healthy, the Knicks are one of the most bruising teams in the association. 

The differences under Brown are the shot chart distribution and pace of play. Last season, New York was sixth in frequency of field goal attempts from between 10-16 feet and 28th in 3-pointers. Now, the Knicks sit at 11th and seventh in those categories, respectively. They’ve dramatically changed their shot profile despite a very similar roster. Brown has implemented a team wide mandate that players turn down inefficient non-rim two-pointers in favor of shots that net you an extra point. Brunson, Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and Miles McBride are all attempting more 3-pointers per 100 possessions than they did last season.
