The New York Knicks are currently facing challenges with bench depth due to injuries to Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa. However, backup guard Miles McBride has stepped up significantly, showcasing his skills as a sixth man.

In a recent game against the Orlando Magic, McBride scored 18 points and demonstrated his shooting prowess, hitting five three-pointers. His shooting percentage from beyond the arc has improved to 43.2% this season, reflecting his development as a player.

Not only has McBride enhanced his shooting, but he has also become more effective at creating his own shots, contributing to the Knicks' recent success on a five-game road trip. His performance has positioned him as a contender for the Sixth Man of the Year award, with odds suggesting he could climb higher if he maintains his current form.
