New York Knicks: Predicting statistical leaders in each major category

New York Knicks statistical leaders – 3-point percentage: Evan Fournier
Predicted percentage: 43.2

Last season, of all the qualified players, Alec Burks led the Knicks by making 41.5 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc. Last season, while playing alongside Walker with the Boston Celtics, Fournier hit 46.3 percent of his shots from long range. He will lead the Knicks from distance this season.

New York Knicks statistical leaders – 2-point percentage: Taj Gibson
Predicted percentage: 68.2

Of all players on the Knicks roster who took more than 100 attempts from inside the arc, Taj Gibson converted them at the best rate. He hit 67.1 of his shots which, given the extra talent signed by the Knicks should go up. He will have less defensive pressure on him when he is on the court.

New York Knicks statistical leaders – free-throw percentage: Immanuel Quickley
Predicted percentage: 90.6

Last season the Knicks were led at the charity stripe by rookie Immanuel Quickley which is impressive for a first-year player. The only threat to him this season is the newly signed Walker. However, while Walker has his knee injury, his shooting stroke will potentially be affected. Quickley will have spent the offseason working hard on his trade and should get a slightly better number next season.
