Knicks seek adjustments as Miles McBride struggles in preseason
Summary

The New York Knicks are evaluating their approach after guard Miles McBride faced shooting difficulties in the preseason. McBride scored six points on 2-for-7 shooting in a recent game against the Washington Wizards, following an 0-for-4 performance in the opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks finished the game against Washington with a disappointing 11-for-38 from three. Coach Mike Brown is considering how to improve McBride's opportunities moving forward, suggesting he should play alongside playmaker Jalen Brunson in future games. Brown plans to reassess McBride's minutes based on his shooting performance and shot quality in upcoming contests.
