Watch: Knicks’ Luca Vildoza posts workouts videos showcasing shooting

In the clip above, Luca carries the ball across midcourt and pulls up for a smooth jumper, proving he has the adequate range to hit in the NBA. Working on his off-the-dribble three-point mechanics is essential, as the Knicks desperately need a player who can offer production in that facet.

As the league has quickly adapted to a more 3-PT centric mentality, New York must keep up with the times, and Vildoza offers solid mechanics in that regard and is clearly working tirelessly on progression.

The next clip offers a look at his ability to create space in the paint, backing into his defender and using a step-back jumper to find the basket. There is no question that he is a smooth shooter with athleticism and range from all points on the court. Of course, perfecting these scenarios in practice is one thing and translating it to a live game is another.

The Argentinian native has already received glowing reviews from former Knick Pablo Prigioni, who currently works with Minnesota’s coaching staff. He even indicated that Vildoza is coming into the NBA as a more skilled player and simply lacks experience due to his age, but that’s a factor that will improve over time.
