The New York Knicks are considered the previous contenders to the Boston Celtics for the Eastern Conference. With the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns to the roster, Thibodeau’s team has taken a huge competitive step forward. He and Jalen Brunson are the stars of a team that is approaching its NBA debut in Boston against the Celtics.
Without a doubt, Jalen Brunson played his best season of his career a year ago. He will be the main driving force of the Knicks.
His value was also highlighted by former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas who made a high-sounding comparison of the Knicks star:
“Brunson is a Chris Paul who scores. Brunson is not going to hit two threes and then go down and try to take a 40-foot shot just for a heat check.”
