Reggie Bullock was brought to New York to be their shooter and shot from three points when they needed it.
Much like RJ Barrett last season, Reggie Bullock was the victim of seeing Julius Randle go round and round and do nothing. Though Bullock is expected to stay behind the arch waiting for a catch opportunity, he never seemed ready last year and part of that was Randle not preparing him great.
Bullock’s three-point shot was inconsistent in the games he played. So far this season Julius has figured out when the double team is coming and when to distribute it to a shooter, and that shooter was Reggie Bullock. While Reggie isn’t the type of player who leads a team in scoring, he’s hitting the shots when the Knicks call him, which has been huge for their success.
A lot of NBA players have made a great career for themselves just because they scored three-pointers at a high pace, and Reggie Bullock seems to do just that by becoming a solid starter for Tom Thibodeau. So as long as Julius keeps checking the attack and finds Bullock open, we should start expecting Reggie to hit his shots.
