The Story in 60 Seconds

Empire Sports Media writer Alexander Wilson argues that the New York Knicks should prioritize getting Landry Shamet perimeter shot attempts early in their upcoming game against Milwaukee. Shamet took eight three-point attempts, converting three, during New York's recent victory over Cleveland, following an earlier 22-point performance against Brooklyn where he made four of six shots from beyond the arc.

Wilson suggests designing early offensive actions off screens for Shamet rather than merely stationing him in the corner. According to the writer, generating active movement and early perimeter volume for Shamet forces defenses to adjust, easing pressure on New York's primary ball-handlers during half-court possessions.
