There are two types of good statistical offenses.
The Knicks had the fourth and seventh best offenses respectively by offensive rating the past two seasons. Those offenses weren’t totally predicated on great efficiency, ball movement, and high-end offensive talent.
The 2022-23 team was fourth in offensive rating. It might seem like much longer than two years ago because of the insane roster turnover, but that team was pretty good. The thing is that the offense wasn’t very sustainable. How does a team that was 20th in FG%, 19th in 3pt%, and dead last in assists have such a good offensive rating?
