Yeah I agree.  I was happy when they signed him, best PG they've had in a million years.  But was a little worried how his game would translate.  He can shoot 3's, but he really did his best work with Dallas inside the paint, with all his pseudo post moves.  Worked with Dallas because they had a ton of shooting, whereas the Knicks...don't.  I thought the floor would be really cramped for him.

But if you look at his shot chart, he's taking about 15% of his shots within 3 feet, same as last year.  Though he is shooting a lot worse, only 49.5% vs 54.5% in that area.  Probably because he's dealing with more defenders.  But overall, his efficiency is only a tick below where it was last year, and he went from being assisted on 27% of his 2 pointers and 81% of his 3's down to 17% and 58%.   (Possible red flag is he is getting a lot fewer assisted 3 pointers, so a lot more off the dribble, and shooting about the same as he did last year.  If you were being negative you could say that trend is unlikely to persist.)
