Knicks’ Mike Brown wants team to ‘let it fly’ from three

“If you’re open and your feet are set — especially if that ball hits the paint, or we’ve got a cut or roll that pulls the defense in, and now we get a spray to a three? We better let it fly. We better let it fly,” Brown said (h/t Posting and Toasting).

The Knicks have an abundance of three-point scoring talent, so they need to take advantage of that to get the most out of this group. Last season, they started out taking a lot of threes, but gradually reduced their attempts as the season progressed.

The Knicks need to maximize their offensive capabilities

There was a six-game stretch during the postseason where Karl-Anthony Towns made just two three-point field goals. The lack of willingness to fire from long range was hurting their offense, as it became stagnant and overly reliant on Jalen Brunson.

New York has the luxury of having three-point shooters all around the court. Their only non-shooter in the rotation is Mitchell Robinson, but his offensive rebounding prowess still helps them maintain strong floor spacing.

If the Knicks can take more threes, they have the potential to shoot their way to more wins and become a truly unstoppable force in their biggest season this century.
