Brunson Goes For A New Career-High Against the Suns!

By on

        Jalen Brunson has helped shift the New York Knicks franchise. Last season, in his first year as a Knick, he was averaging career highs in points (24 PPG) , assists (6.2 APG) and 3-point percentage (41.6%). He was a huge snub from making the All-Star team last season and he helped lead the Knicks back to the playoffs. Brunson also helped the Knicks made it past the first-round for the first time in ten years but their playoff hopes ended in the second-round after losing to the Miami Heat in six games. Brunson's presence has helped build a winning culture with the Knicks. 


        Recently, the New York Knicks took on the Phoenix Suns and Brunson went off. The Phoenix Suns have dealt with a number of injuries and have had some struggles on the defensive end, which is where Brunson just exposed the Suns. Brunson dropped a new Career-High 50 points against the Suns and what's really impressive is he went a perfect 9 for 9 from 3-point range. The Knicks would defeat the Suns (Knicks 139, Suns 122) and continue to have a solid season so far. 


        The New York Knicks currently have a 14-10 record and are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are a very tough team and are looking to be just as tough come playoff time. The main issues for the Knicks in the playoffs last season was the lack of production from Randle and Barrett. The Knicks are a very competitive team so it's going to be interesting to see how their season goes and where they will finish in the East. In regards of Jalen Brunson, he already has a strong case to make an All-Star team this season and even make All-NBA.

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

It has been announced that Pascal Siakam has been traded to the Indiana Pacers.            Pascal Siakam was drafted by the Toronto Raptors in 2016 with the twenty-seventh overall pick. He was a huge piece in helping the Raptors win their first ever NBA championship in 2019 against the Golden State Warriors.

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
