Been watching a few Knick games and noticed Porzingis passes up on a lot of open shots, only to make a pass that usually goes nowhere. I’m sure this is all by design, but i would like to see him take more of those shots. Any thoughts

I think it is just a confidence thing and by next season he will be more comfortable taking more shots.

The Triangle was passed around creating shooting opportunities I always understood, so it is strange him passing up on them. Although Afflalo was on fire against the Hawks so there may have been a desire to get the ball to him and naturally a rookie may look to defer shots to someone like Melo.

He’s 19, so he’s still deferring. Give him time… and move Melo.

KP’s shot selection has not been good this year. It’s probally the worst aspect of his game. He’s new to the league and it’s not like he has had the best examples of what’s a good shot and what’s not a good shot around him.

I like how everyone has an excuse for him lol. Confidence issue…Afflalo was on fire…deferring to Melo…
A spades a spade. The fact is most of the year he has forced bad shots. Yes probally been warned about it and is now trying to be more conscious on his shot selection and is overcompensating leaving open shots on the table

3 for 4 will hit a 3 and not shoot the rest of the game. High % shooter who refuses to shoot often.
