Good points Please don't take this the wrong way but what harm can it do to the team as they not travelling to well anyways?
We can all see he needs the boost so give him the ball where he wants it and let him do what made you pick him number 1. They were so high on him on draft day and unless there's something else to this story they can't just bench him or DNP each night. He ain't kwame brown yet.

He's not a top ten pick - He was the NUMBER ONE pick! He should be producing, for a number of reasons he's not. They need to do something with him to get him back in the game - D League, let him sit out a week or 2 and work individually, let him play with Uncle Drew, whatever he needs - right now he isn't getting the ball in scoring positions or situations, his confidence is shot - he and the team need to do something to get him into the game.
I think the reality is it is beyond just giving him the ball and do you really think any of the defenders are going to let him just catch it and go to work? He's not in a dominant mindframe to be able to do it either
This is a better option, get it to him when he is open. Tell him to stop shooting threes, even if he thinks he can or did in College - he can't right now - 16.7% tells you that(3/18) and taking 1.4 per game, I don't want my 4 man shooting that many 3s.
It's interesting to look at his shot chart so far this season -
- only 16 out of 49 shots are from inside the key - I'd think fairly low for a 3/4/5 man.
- 3/15 makes from under the basket
- 7/32 makes from outside the key (Not including the 1/1 from the left hand block)
and because someone will complain we all know his shooting is shot
but it is interesting none the less.

Best option for him imo, needs to play the game with less pressure.

I agree , give it to him under the rim and let him get some easy looks. If he can get a few easy buckets under the hoop, it will surely give him confidence to hit jumpers, not threes, just mid range jumpers.

And the Knicks are worse and they have no injuries do they?
They're so bad they are wrecking other teams' records!! Onya Amare, kill the NBA highlight packages by taking out A.Davis why don't ya
How can you lose to a tanking Bucks and a Davis-less Hornets? Unless the Knicks themselves are tanking?
I don't think D League is the answer. He could have 20 and 10, then comeback and be the same.
After watching more and more, he is getting wide ope
Ha ha, well played Matt.
It's a shame about both teams really. I like watching KG, Pierce and the rest of the Nets players going to work when they're healthy, they haven't been able to do it yet.
What's that saying?
"It's better to retire one year too early than one year too late"
I hope that's not the case for KG coz I've always loved his game.
The Knicks I think can come good, but they'll be making a trade for sure.

he should only be out a few weeks, maybe a month. not season ending or anything.And that Davis injury is shattering, although, it shouldn't be too bad.
He's been amazing, doing things not done in the NBA since D. Rob and Hakeemthose are some big time stat comparisons.

Ah they've got Chandler out, forgot about that. Still. Nets and Knicks have been baaaddd.
Lakers lose Farmar for a month with a hamstring. I'd really like to see what a healthy Lakers roster could do but we havent seen that for over 2 seasons now.
Just another bad season for injuries all round i think, spewin Davis went down tho. I picked up a few of his rc autos and he was ballin hard. Lets hope he recovers quickly and is all the better for a bit of extra rest before dominating the rest of the season.
