Bullock Bust Watch

[Fuerza1]

I watched a lot of Knicks games in the previous two seasons and - on an extremely ephemeral basis - I don't see much different by eye-test in Reggie's shooting form. And his per-36 #-of-3pt-attempts appears to be pretty close (6.7 this year to 7.4 last). 

However, while the total 3pt-attempts/36 is close to last year, it is trending sharply down. He's a pretty miserable 2-19 over the last 6 games in 158m - which is only 4.3 3pt-attempts/36, and that obviously includes three games in which Luka wasn't taking 20+ shots a game.

It definitely wasn't great that he had 0-2 last night in 32m (0-6 would have been better!), and I didn't like him not taking the shot at the end of the half.

Otoh, maybe part of the problem is JB looks for him even less than Luka does!

Interesting theory but it is wrong. In actuality (aka reality), Brunson passes the ball to Bullock more often than Luka does per game. Source: https://www.nba.com/stats/player/203493/passes-dash/

Furthermore, Bullock shoots a much better % with Brunson than with Luka: 35% from 3 with Brunson, 11% from 3 with Luka. 

Brunson + Bullock pairing is a +10.4 net rating. Luka + Bullock pairing is a -10.1 net rating. 

How is that for context? But this is not a Brunson/Luka or even Kidd problem. It is strictly a Reggie Bullock problem, the dude is shooting 30-33% on open to wide open 3PT's; 28% on catch 'n shoot opportunities. He needs to simply do his part [on offense].
