The New York Knicks will enter the 2019-20 season with heightened expectations on offense and defense. Point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will be the focal point of the offense this year despite having lackluster numbers over two seasons.
Smith has averaged just 14.5 points per game since hi inception in 2017, but he will look to increase his production and efficiency from the floor.
The third-year player has plenty of goals entering next season, but one of them is to help New York Knicks’ RJ Barrett when the Rookie of the Year award.
“I’m treating that as one of my focal points just to help him win Rookie of the Year.
