All signs point towards New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. having a dominant 2019 season. Why? Because his offseason training has been extensive and progressive.
The one thing Smith Jr. was missing from his game was an affective perimeter shot, an essential attribute for any premier point guard. Kemba Walker has it, Kyrie Irving, Kyle Lowry…but it could be Smith’s time to finally take the jump.
Knicks assistant coach Keith Smart has been working Dennis to exhaustion the past six weeks, putting up thousands of shots and tweaking his technique to help refine one of his most visible weaknesses.
