New York knicks: Dennis Smith Jr. Explodes for 50 points in Crossover League

The New York Knicks are expecting big things out of their third-year point guard in Dennis Smith Jr. He’s one of the more athletically elite players at the position in the league and can change the course of the game on a dime.

His dunking abilities make him explosive, but his shooting has been lackluster since his inception into the NBA in 2016. However, he has worked tirelessly at this off-season in Westchester with shooting Coach Keith Smart to improve his perimeter jump-shot and overall scoring efficiency.

The former Dallas Maverick has averaged 14.5 points per game in two years.
