New York Knicks veteran shooting guard Courtney Lee says that some of his teammates don’t know the teams plays and should pay more attention in practice:

Perhaps Lee’s comments have some validity; after all, the Knicks are off to an 0-3 start to their season.
The Knicks are a very young team, and these youngsters are probably exactly the players that Lee is talking about. These kids probably aren’t quite accustomed to needing to learn NBA playbooks cover to cover.
The team’s vets – guys like Jarrett Jack, Joakim Noah and Ramon Sessions – probably aren’t having issues memorizing the playbook.
Some of the team’s youth, though, like Frank Ntilikina, Willy Hernangomez, Kristaps porzingis, Doug McDermott, Ron Baker and Damyean Dotson, may be having some problems.
Or, maybe it’s Michael Beasley. He turns 29 years old in January and has played for seven different NBA teams, but… it is Michael Beasley, and this is a very Beasley thing. It’s also a very Knicks thing.
All jokes aside, this isn’t that big a deal. These guys will figure it out.
