New York Knicks combo-guard Allonzo Trier played a total of 25 minutes in preseason so far. The last game Knicks played, Allonzo Trier was a DNP. It has been a head-scratching scenario and sequence regarding playing time for the Knicks scoring guard Allonzo Trier. Now is the time to wonder how the New York Knicks undrafted second-year scorer will factor into the crucial 2019-20 NBA season.

Is it possible that Fizdale and his staff already know what they have in Allonzo Trier which leads them to give newer additions more opportunities? That definitely could be the case. If so, there should be no concerns about Allonzo Trier’s playing time as the regular season approaches. Besides, if Trier can continue shooting the three-ball efficiently regardless of improved volume, then there should be nothing to worry about. Especially with the shooting woes of Payton, DSJ, and Ntilikina.

RJ Barrett has been a pleasant surprise throughout the preseason for the Knicks even though he also struggled with shooting from the field and the free-throw line. However, Trier must be a spark off the bench that can not only score the basketball, however, he must also be able to play plus defense and facilitate an offense. If Allonzo Trier improves his playmaking ability, watch out!

Allonzo Trier has the ability to be a quality sixth man off the bench for scoring. The defense must improve for the second-year player out of Arizona. The former Wildcat must continue working hard on his playmaking ability. Fans of Allonzo Trier will have to be patient because there’s definitely a strong possibility of a sudden boost in playing time for the natural scoring Seattle native.
