New York Knicks will lock horns against Minnesota Lynx in NBA 2021-22 on Wednesday, 19 January 2022 at 06:00 AM IST
I think the Knicks need to acquire a playmaker who can act as a perimeter shooter as well, yes, Burks has dished 4-6 assists a game at times but he is not the playmaking type and this sort of game has hurt his own scoring rhythm.
They need someone who can push the tempo and also score at a high clip(Even someone who can get 10-15 points and dish 6-8 assists a game).
Julius Randle has been a tad out of control while trying to do too much. While RJ Barrett has been the most consistent offensive player recently, even he has had his struggles.
This system is not suiting Fournier, and neither did Boston’s system, why? Well, when he was in Orlando, he was the major isolation scorer and now he has to play off the ball.
Quickley shows promise but he needs to be more efficient too. Mitchell Robinson has improved this month on the offensive end but with a regular playmaker can take it up further.
However, Obi Toppin, the young promising Forward has seen his minutes fall, what is his future with the Knicks after he had begun the season with a bang? Who can the Knicks acquire to make things better on the offensive side?
Minnesota has a high-quality offensive attack which has improved at a high clip. With Russell, you get a high-quality playmaker, a type of playmaker that the Knicks need to be honest.
Anthony Edwards is becoming an elite isolation option while Karl Anthony-Towns uses his size well to score and has a more than decent jumper along with his driving game.
Now, with Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell, having improved with each month, the team has five primetime scores.
Not enough can be said about Jared Vanderbilt, whose hustle enables a team to get the second-chance points and also seal the boards on the defensive end.
Patrick Beverley can act as the second playmaker but yes, there is one area that needs to be fine-tuned.
See, the core for the Timberwolves has both age and potential on their side but defensively, the team keeps coming up short during most games and the team has also struggled to win against 60+ wins squad due to that issue.
Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid give some depth at the big Forward/Center position but yes, overall, it is the defensive side that needs fixing for the young Wolves.
