Jeff Horancek said the Knicks use "a fair amount" of analytics in team evaluation but he doesn't use numbers as a sole factor in decisions: "All those numbers, you're out there with five guys. One guy's numbers might not be great. But it might not be (solely his fault). Analytics are good to look at and analyze things but sometimes it can throw some confusion in there. I was an accounting major. You make the numbers look the way you want sometimes." Hornacek said the Knicks may pay close attention to points per play on pick-and-rolls this season. In Phoenix, he said coaches knew that the Suns were 2nd in points per play on pick-and-roll plays when they hit the roller, but they only ranked 29th in the frequency with which they hit the roller, something that coaches pointed out to the players.
