It's been a tough start to the season for New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith, who's averaging just 7.5 points on 38.7 percent shooting through four games, and has been very open about how challenging it's been adjusting to Derek Fisher's triangle offense. 

Smith has some tantalizing raw talent that could ultimately make him a great fit in the triangle. He flashed some of that talent on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets, spinning into the lane and finding center Cole Aldrich for the layup using a wicked no-look shovel pass.
