4. Scoring Instincts

The New York Knicks have begun to do what Jeff Hornacek and Phil Jackson promised: balance the offense. The triangle is still a powerful word and factor, but it’s far from the primary source of offense in New York.

If there’s one area in which the Knicks’ offense continues to struggle, it’s in generating offense without the starters on the floor.

Chasson Randle is much more than a scorer, but it’s his ability to put points on the board that’s made him such a noteworthy individual. He’s an efficient 3-point shooter, a strong ball-handler, and a creative finisher at the rim.

The proof of Randle’s scoring instincts can be found in the fact that he’s the leading scorer in Stanford Cardinal history.

Randle made 304 3-point field goals on 38.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc during his four-year college career. He went off at Summer League with an average of 18.3 points and put up 14 points against the Brooklyn Nets this preseason.

The Knicks need shooters and penetrators like Randle who can consistently create offense for the second unit. Why not give him a chance to do so?
