More shots for Brunson and Randle.

I saw some Knicks fans were complaining that RJ took too many shots away from their main guys.


Not sure how much more usage those guys can handle, they're already way up there. I don't think either of these guys are superstars that would warrant mid 30's USG rates. Brunson being a smaller guard would be worn down carrying that kind of load most likely too.


Brunson+Randle have taken 17/31 shots so far.


It's game one, they're obviously not going to be running plays for OG when he's brand new to their system.

Knicks play much better as a team when Randle is not on the floor.

They shouldn't really be running plays for OG anyways, unless it's to get him an open 3.

How did OG avoid committing the offensive foul on that break, though? Not my OG!

Knicks will be an even more solid team if Mitch Robinson comes back!

Who's going to get all the touches then? Hart? DiVincenzo? Grimes?

They'll need to make another move to get a scorer for the bench to replace IQ.

The rest will go to the other guards.

I'm sure they will try to get more touches to OG and see what he can do though in the meantime.

He has played the most minutes along with Brunson.
