Feels like the way Maxey and Halliburton are playing they’re going to be all-stars and Lillard is in the East.

The way people talk about Brunson is like he’s some elite player. If anything he’s like 9-12th best guard in the league.

I guess fans are just happy to have an above average PG. Really the first since Marbury and the first one with a chance to be an All-Star since our most recent Knicks PG to be an All-Star - Mark Jackson.

    You are conflating all star status with actual ability, but classifying all stars as PGs and SGs, which is not how it works. So the first question is, is Brunson a top 4 guard in the East? Maxey Hali Spida Jaylen Brown

    • that’s pretty tough to break into. Dames numbers are no better than Brunson’s, so far. The tie break on these is the record for the team, generally. Browns numbers aren’t better than JBs either, but he’s a lock for the ASG. I think Brunson has a shot as a reserve. If he’s at or over 25 pts pg and the Knicks are a top 4 team, I think he’ll make it.

    Second question- is he a great player even if he’s not as good as these 4-5 players? I think so. I think he contributes to winning at a great level, esp because he’s so clutch. As a PG he’s not the traditional pass first guard so his assists aren’t that high but that’s also the new NBA with dimes shared around the squad. But his low TOs are amazing, and his handle is great. His defense is not great overall.
