The pros and cons are too obvious! Will the Knicks still allow the backcourt general to continue to play in the life and death battle of G6?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks, who played at home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94, completing the Jedi victory. Next, both sides will return to the Indianapolis series G6 game. The Pacers still hold the match point, while the Knicks are still facing a back-to-back battle in G6, and they are still on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, Delon Wright's performance in the Knicks' substitute backcourt was still a bit mixed. Wright played 10 minutes and 13 seconds in the game, made 0 of 4 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers from outside the three-point line. He did not score 1 point in the game, but also contributed 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of +4. Wright has no touch on the offensive end, his shooting ability looks awkward, and his stability on the offensive end is also significantly worse. Of course, Wright also showed some ability to pass and organize offense. The most important thing is that his performance on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He is also a very reliable defender and his personal defense ability is excellent. Overall, although his shooting ability is very poor and his scoring ability is very limited, Wright can still play a certain role in both offense and defense, and he can still play his role on the court.

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 5 games in the first 16 games, averaging 7.2 minutes per game, averaging 1 point, 0.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks, and 0.2 turnovers, shooting percentage of 28.6% and three-point shooting percentage of 25%.

Wright's playing time after joining the team is very limited, but within his limited playing time, we can also see his characteristics in passing, organizing and defense. In the playoffs, Knicks head coach Tom Thiboddeau was very cautious about using Wright, and Wright also had no chance to get into the rotation lineup. Until this round of the series, it was because the team encountered great trouble, and the performance of the team's second-team players was not ideal, which is also a key factor in Wright's ability to enter the rotation lineup. Wright can indeed play a key role, but he does cause some trouble to the team on the offensive end. I wonder if the conservative Thibodeau will give Wright a chance in the next life-and-death battle in G6?
