New York Knicks and an encouraging margin for improvement

You can see the glass as half full or half empty. It is worth highlighting that Karl-Anthony Towns' season is far from his peak level, but this can be interpreted as a great opportunity for the New York Knicks. The team is performing well, with ups and downs, but maintaining a privileged position in the Eastern Conference and trusting that the Dominican player will raise his level.

The new playing scheme is detrimental to him; he is struggling to shake off physical discomfort and find his spaces. Karl-Anthony Towns is suffering this season and must find solutions to become a second sword at the necessary level to win the championship. However, the fact that the New York Knicks are in the third position in the Eastern Conference with this handicap must be perceived as a great opportunity for the team to continue growing and be one of the favorites for the championship.

It would be logical to expect Karl-Anthony Towns to increase his averages in scoring, assists, field goal percentage, and blocks. There are enough reasons to believe he can do it, especially when the game tightens and his talent is essential to break tough defenses. New York Knicks must keep working to make him more comfortable since, if he regains his best rhythm, the collective performance growth can be decisive in aspiring to glory.
