Average 3.9 three-pointers! The Knicks recruit top scorers, which is very suitable for Brunson

This summer, the main operations of the New York Knicks are as follows:

1. Recruiting Clarkson, who reached a buyout by the Jazz;

2, signing Yabussele for 12 million in two years;

3. After firing Thibodeau, appointing Mike Brown as the new head coach;

4, and reaching a four-year, 150 million in advance with Bridges.

Except for the first point, I think the other three points have little impact on the team.

What can Clarkson bring to the Knicks? In the 23-24 season, the Knicks averaged 28.4 points per game, only better than the Suns, Bulls and Lakers. In the 24-25 season, it ranked first last in the league with an average of 21.7 points per game. And Clarkson is the top sixth man in the league. The potential arrival of his will greatly strengthen the substitute firepower of "Big Apple" City.

In fact, the Knicks' reinforcement is not over yet.

According to the NBA China official website, Beasley has ended the federal investigation and the Knicks are one of the interested teams. In the 24-25 season, Beasley scored 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 82 games for the Pistons, with a shooting rate of 43.0%/41.6%/67.9% in three events. Among them, the 3.9 three-pointers averaged per game was second only to Curry and Edwards.

For Beasley's, it should be noted:

Different defensive intensity

1. When the defender is at 2-4 feet, he has a total of 221 three-point shots, with a total of 81 goals, with a shooting rate of 36.7%;

2. When the defender is at 6 feet, he has a total of 200 three-point shots, with a shooting rate of 94 goals, with a shooting rate of 47%.

Three-point performance against strong teams

1, against the Celtics in two games, hitting 12 three-pointers, shooting percentage 54.5%;

2, against the Cavaliers in four games, hitting 11 three-pointers, shooting percentage 44.0%;

3, against the Nuggets in two games, hitting 7 three-pointers, shooting percentage 45.0%;

4, against the Thunder in two games, hitting 6 three-pointers, shooting percentage 40.1%.

In summary, for Beasley, I think it can be summarized as a top shooter. To be precise, he has the ability to make three-point shots, open spaces and stable output from the outside against top teams like Curry, Peak Klay and others.

If the Knicks successfully recruited Beasley, what can he bring to the team?

In my opinion, this fits Brunson very well.

First, take action. In the 24-25 season, Brunson made a total of 1,177 shots, of which 562 were from the defender under high-intensity defense within 4 feet. The proportion is as high as 47.8% from high defensive intensity. To effectively ensure efficiency and reduce the occurrence of injuries, there is obviously a shooter who can open up space for renewal. With top-level projection ability, Beasley can do this.

Second, take the ballot. This season, Brunson received a total of 3,779 balls, second only to Hart in the team; 4,691 passes, ranking first in the team. It shows that it is the initiator of the team's tactics, and Beasley can effectively convert the former's pass into assists (scoring) with good reception ability.

In summary, we can understand that Beasley can share Brunson's offensive power well. To be precise, the advancement restrains the defender and opens up space, and the retreat can effectively convert the pass into a score. To a large extent, the two have achieved mutual support.
