    Mitch should be in this poll instead of Randle tbh

    Brunson IS the best player, he’s also the closer. He’s the guy we get the ball to first every possession down the stretch.

    He’s also imperfect and has warts, much like Jules. Brunson is not a great floor general. He doesnt create many open shots for teammates. He’s not a great defensive player. He’s some things really well and I love that we have him. We are lucky we got him because he’s a finisher and that might be the hardest part to find.

    I think we can build a team around Brunson’s scoring much like Celtics did briefly with Isiaiaiah Thomas. He’s THAT good. We will need to surround him with size, defensive help, another ball handler and shooters. So far its a work in progress but everyone is adjusting and pretty well IMO.

    Randle’s gross shooting was clearly a post surgery rhythm issue and he’s looking better.

    This is a good team. Lots of depth and hustle. Shooting remains sketchy. If we make baskets we are elite. If we are league average we are a 50 win team

    The fact that you didn’t even include Mitch in this poll speaks volumes

      I get what you’re saying about Brunson, and yeah, he’s fantastic. But don’t you think Mitchell Robinson’s impact is a bit underrated? I mean, he’s not even an option on the poll. His defense is insane - leading the team in blocks and steals and altering shot after shot with his length.

      And on offense, the guy’s a rebounding machine, giving us those extra possessions that lead to wins. I feel like his contributions are super important, even if they don’t always make the highlight reel like Brunson’s do. Both are great, but Robinson’s role is key in a different way, you know?

        Yeah I def appreciate Mitch and think him not even being in here is crazy. Everything you said is very valid for sure.

        I still gotta lean towards Brunson as #1 but Mitch is a close 2nd for sure.

    Brunson gives you 24 ppg. He’s a star.

    Should be asking besides JB, as this is the obvious answer for 99% out there.
