New York Knicks basketball is back for the year 2020 and their offense already looks different. The offense actually looks sharp and improved under Interim Coach Mike Miller. For the improved spacing, ladies and gentlemen, thank Reggie Bullock the sharpshooting 6’7 guard who’s been out since the beginning of the year due to a neck injury.
Frank Ntilikina, Julius Randle, and Mitchell Robinson all seemed to have a weight lifted off their shoulders with the improved spacing and Mike Millers’ ability to put everybody in great situations on the court. Below is a link showing Julius Randles lob to Mitchell Robinson while Anfernee Simons was hesitant leaving Reggie Bullock open in the corner.

Frank Ntilikina looked smooth during Bullock’s first official game in a Knick uniform. The connection Ntilikina had with Robinson during the Blazer game with Bullock spacing the floor on the wing looked flawless.
Julius Randle been more precise with his moves lately. Randle’s improvement under Interim Coach Mike Miller has been fantastic. The Knicks power-forward been lessening his turnovers.
Not only has Reggie Bullock brought sharp three-point shooting, he seems to be disruptive defensively alongside Ntilikina. If Reggie continues this two-way style of fantastic shooting and solid defense, he’ll definitely be rewarded more minutes under Mike Miller.
Overall, the more space Mitchell Robinson gets to roll with in the paint offensively, the more efficient the Knicks offense could become. Certain players are still gaining believe it or not. RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Julius Randle, and Kevin Knox are improving plus they’re still young. Let’s see how the Knicks manage their road trip out west.
