4 potential assists per game, let's assume 50% shooting, that's 5 more points per game, assuming one of the shots made is a 3.
Yay?!
The Knicks have gone from the 20th best passing team in the league to the 5th in 3 games. I think over 79 more games, we can figure out how to generate more potential assists with those passes.
A passing jump was one of the huge differences from when Kerr took over from Jackson and we're seeing a similar jump now.
No matter how it's sliced, those are marked improvements.
Hopefully they'll start making shots at some point. Just reverting to the mean in shooting should accomplish that. That and reduced shots for Yabu, Clarkson and Hart.
