Although the Knicks backcourt player is good on the court, he can t get more trust?

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

Although the Knicks lost the game, the team's substitute backcourt player Delon Wright actually performed well. Wright played 9 minutes and 04 seconds in the game, made 1 of 2 shots and 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and had 1 turnover, and the plus and negative values ​​reached the highest +11 in the team. Wright did not have much ball rights or shots on the offensive end, but he also hit a three-pointer, which helped the team make a certain contribution. Wright has a strong personal defensive ability on the defensive end, and his defensive contribution is obvious to all. He is very oppressive to the ball holder. Wright also played a good effect on the court, and the plus and negative value of +11 can fully prove this. Unfortunately, Knicks head coach Tom Thiboddeau did not provide Wright with enough playing time, and even if his role on the court was very obvious, he could not get more trust. In this case, he also has no way to provide more help and support to the team.

After joining the Knicks, Wright made a total of 14 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%. During the playoffs, Wright played 4 games in the first 15 games, averaging 6.5 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 66.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 100%.

Wright's playing time in the regular season after joining the Knicks was relatively limited. Even if he showed some traits on the defensive end and he was able to maintain a high level on the offensive end, he could not get more trust. In the playoffs, Wright also could not get more playing time and tactical status, and he could not get the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup in the previous stages. Even with the team's insufficient substitute players and the performance of another backcourt substitute Cameron Payne was not ideal, Wright could not get more trust. We really don’t understand why Wright’s performance is so reliable that he can’t get more playing time?
