He’s a sub 30 percent 3-point shooting, which largely means that NBA teams will live with him shooting.
There are two times Kornet plays. With starters to spell Porzingis/Horford and in those cases you want someone else to shoot or in junk time with all bench players and you’re trying to protect a lead.
There’s very little reason for him to shoot these. If he could have remained a 35+ percent shooter he would have had a very different career.

will never forgive the knicks for wasting the Luke Kornet game.

I always thought this was weird. Usually once you show a skill at the NBA level, you own it.
I remember thinking earlier in his career that Kornet was one-dimensional because I thought his *only* NBA-level skill was shooting pick and pop threes from the top of the key.

Luke used to shoot threes. ~~He wasn’t ever super great at it over a large sample size~~, but he has some touch based on his FT%. It’s a little interesting that in Boston they’ve never really asked him to do that.
Edit: well I take some of that back. In the G League he shot 43% for his career on 300+ attempts, and that’s in addition to his first few seasons in NYK when he shot around league average on just under 300 attempts. Hit a lot in college too though not on great efficiency

He’s finally got into a groove the last few games. Maybe he took the Neemias minutes personal during his absence idk. But I also feel like about 50% of the time Joe would put him in the wrong time which isn’t Luke’s fault

Maybe this was the game Brook Lopez realized “I need to start shouting 3’s”
Edit: it was not. He started in 16-17 going from 0 to 5.2 attempts per game

Yeah not sure why he doesn’t get corner 3s or pick and pop from the top. 35% isn’t bad. We could always use more space

We have a Porzingis on the bench

He even attacked a close out!
