The number of shots is very limited! Why don’t the Knicks give the powerful pitcher more opportunities?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, Landry Shamet, the Knicks' substitute backcourt player, actually performed well. Shamet played 15 minutes and 56 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 7 shots and 4 of 7 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 12 points and 2 assists, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -1. Shamet also showed good outside shooting ability on the offensive end. He also scored more three-pointers, and he also had certain passing and organizational skills. Shamet's defensive ability is not outstanding, but he doesn't seem to have any big problems. Unfortunately, Shamet didn't get much score during the regular game time. It was not until the last quarter that he got more opportunities to get out of the phone when the game was almost lost, but it was obvious that it was too late. If Shamet can get more playing time and performance opportunities, things may also change.

In the NBA regular season this season, Shamet made a total of 50 appearances in 82 games, averaging 15.2 minutes per game, averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 1 foul, with a shooting percentage of 46.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%. During the playoffs, the Knicks played 11 games in these 18 games, averaging 7.5 minutes per game, averaging 2.4 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 0.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 45%, a three-point shooting percentage of 46.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 25%.

Shamet actually got a lot of playing time during the regular season. He also showed good scoring ability and he also had high stability outside the three-point line. However, in the playoffs, Shamet had a hard time getting into the rotation lineup in the previous two rounds of the series. His playing time was very limited, and his data was therefore very average. In fact, Shamet's offensive efficiency is still quite good, but the Knicks are still unwilling to give him more playing time and performance opportunities. In this round of series, it was because the team was really at a loss, and Shamet began to get more opportunities to perform. In fact, from the actual situation, Shamet is one of the few players in the team with stable shooting ability and scoring ability, and he cannot even be reused. How could the Knicks' bench competitiveness reach a normal level?
