New York Knicks: One Area In Which Every Starter Must Improve

There are options available to the New York Knicks on the trade market. There are also areas in which the team can improve from within.

The New York Knicks are in the midst of a season more frustrating than any in recent memory. That’s a devastating truth when one considers the fact that New York has made the playoffs just four times since reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 2000.

Despite having the talent and coaching to be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, New York has found itself fighting for .500.

New York is 17-21 through 38 games and in the midst of one of the worst stretches in franchise history. It’s 1-8 over the past nine games and has allowed at least 100 points in every one of those outings.

Though it’s the team as a whole that must improve, it’s also a matter of the individual players improving the consistency with which they perform.

Every player has areas in which they excel, but they also have areas in which they struggle. In order for the Knicks to turn the 2016-17 season around, every starter must refine their game and find their niche.

If they manage to do so, then the inconsistency with which New York has performed will dissipate and the pursuit of the postseason will stabilize.
