Brunson is starting to look like the second coming of Chris Paul, just without the lousy attitude. He is making his teammates better at a clip even his former teammate Dončić can’t claim, elevating the Knicks’ deep roster with a next-man-up mentality after numerous injuries. He can seemingly play with anyone, as the team has traded all of their young core for veterans without missing a beat. What makes Brunson great is his footwork in the paint, increasingly lethal three-point shot (40.3%), and unrelenting desire to get better. This season, his career high in points, 27.1 PG, is good for seventh best in the NBA, and his 6.5 APG is tied for 13th. Brunson has been the best signing in Knicks franchise history and has the team back to championship contention for the first time in 3o years.
