As starting shooting guard Evan Fournier closes in on the Knicks’ single-season 3-point record, he still gets lumped in with all the causes for the team’s downfall this season.
Unfair? Probably so, considering he’s hit a career-high 201 3-pointers with 13 games to play. He is 16 shy of tying John Starks’ franchise record of 217 set in 1994-95 — when the Knicks were title contenders.
Asked by The Post on Thursday if he hasn’t gotten enough credit this season, Fournier said, “I actually don’t feel like that at all. It’s hard to get credit when the team is not winning. It’s a team sport. It’s not about individuals. We haven’t been winning, so of course you’re gonna get criticized, and it’s always the player that spends the most time on the floor, and I’m one of them, so it’s legit to be criticized. It only gives me more motivation to do better.
“For any off guard, it’s finding rhythm,’’ Thibodeau said. “Timing, spacing, rhythm for a shooter is critical. His teammates are looking for him more. He knows when it’s coming more. And I think it’s been good. There’s still work to be done where we can, I think, take advantage of him even more.’’“Well, his team defense is very good,’’ Thibodeau said. “His individual — sometimes, he’s in good position and he’s fouling at the end and I just want him to challenge the shot.
