Gilbert Arenas Criticizes Knicks' Use of Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns' transition to the New York Knicks has been problematic, as he is averaging only 9.3 field goals per game, significantly below his career average of 16. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas criticized head coach Tom Thibodeau for not adjusting the team's offensive strategy to better utilize Towns' shooting capabilities, which have been overlooked in favor of guard-heavy plays. Arenas noted that the Knicks' previous centers lacked the shooting prowess that Towns brings, indicating a need for a shift in offensive design. Despite Towns shooting 50% from the field, he has only attempted 28 shots in total across three games, raising concerns about his role within the team. As the Knicks prepare for a matchup against the Miami Heat, the focus remains on how to integrate Towns effectively into their game plan. With the Knicks seeking to regain momentum after a recent loss, whether Thibodeau can adapt his coaching strategy to maximize Towns' potential will be crucial.
