Felton started off the year playing like an all-star but has really struggled as of late. Here's just a quick look at his shooting percentages by month:

 

October

19-42 fgm-fga (.452%), 4-12 3pm-3pa (.333%), 6-8 ftm-fta (.750%)

 

November

104-219 fgm-fga (.475%), 29-79 3pm-3pa (.367%), 61-66 ftm-fta (.924%)

 

December

87-210 fgm-fga (.414%), 24-72 3pm-3pa (.333%), 33-40 ftm-fta (.825%)

 

First three months

210-471 fgm-fga (.446%), 57-163 3pm-3pa (.350%), 100-114 ftm-fta (.878%)

 

January (including tonights game vs. San Antonio)

58-158 fgm-fga (.367%), 18-50 3pm-3pa (.360%), 33-39 ftm-fta (.846%)

 

He has shot a combined 24-78 (.307%) in the last 5 games, and in that span the Knicks have gone 0-5. So is it time for the Knicks to deal?

Yeah. He has a lot to do with the recent struggles, but more so the fact the Knicks defense has been even more poor than usual and also Stoudemire has really been forcing shots, too. It's a rough stretch. Personally, I knew the team was overrated from the get-go. I still think they'll win 40-42 games, but I think we need to make the deal for Melo now.

Beginning of the year he was taking open set shots and making them. Once he got really hot, he was taking tougher shots, pull ups, leaners, fadeaways, and making them all. Now he's back down to Earth, and instead of going back to his set shots, he's still in the fancy footwork mindframe. Needs to get back to basics.

 

All-star break can't get here soon enough.
