Combining insights from ESPN New York’s Jared Zwerling and a couple of NBA scouts, here are five ways the Knicks’ Big Three can improve in Season 2 together:

Anthony became a better passer in his first full season in New York, acting as more of a point-forward, but they both need to learn how to find each other and their teammates.
