New York Knicks Midseason Grades By Position: Shooting Guard
The New York Knicks have hit midseason. Check out our grades for the Knicks’ shooting guards at the halfway point.
The New York Knicks have just surpassed their midseason. They have an underwhelming record of 19-25 as injuries and ineffectiveness have derailed the Knicks in recent weeks. The Knicks went into Christmas with a winning record, but have just a 3-12 record since then.
It is not where anyone wants to be, but that is what the Knicks are currently dealing with. They have to figure things out on the court, especially on the defensive end. The Knicks have no problem scoring the ball, they just cannot consistently keep the other team from doing the same.

That has been their Achilles heel for most of the season and has only been exasperated with the increase in difficulty of their schedule in recent weeks. It has put a lot of pressure on the team, and they have not responded accordingly.
When we took a look at the roster and handed out some grades at the quarter point in the season, the Knicks were 12-10, getting ready to embark on a west coast trip. That is where the season took a turn, as they won the first two games on the trip but lost the final three as injuries began to creep into the picture.
Since we did the grades last time, the Knicks have gone 7-15, taking a tumble down the Eastern Conference standings. Has that impacted some of the player’s grades for the season?
We will take a look at some player grades for the Knicks, breaking them down position by position. The second position we will take a look at is shooting guard.
