USA TODAY Sports, GettyBurks, in particular, has been dreadful, shooting 31 percent from the field this month. December, when he drilled 38 percent of his attempts, had been his worst month of the season.
The two often helped lead the Knicks’ second unit, which was far better than their first, but many more shots will have to fall if the Knicks can compensate for Rose’s absence. “[New Orleans] made a lot of shots, and we didn’t,” RJ Barrett said after the loss to the Pelicans, in which the Knicks shot 9-for-38 from beyond the arc.
