Can the Knicks get back to the playoffs this season? That might depend on if Jalen Brunson is everything they believe he is.

Jason Kidd talked all last year about wanting Jalen Brunson to “get paid,” and he took the same approach today when asked about Josh Green’s rookie option.
Gotta be really encouraging for players to have a coach so open and aligned with that goal.

From earlier: “In the NBA, a point guard – fair or not fair – becomes the leader on the floor. He won’t dodge that responsibility. He’ll eat it up.”

By arriving at camp in better condition, paired with the arrival of Jalen Brunson and the return of a healthy Rose, the Knicks believe they can be off and running this season. “That’s the goal, yeah,” Randle said. “Play faster, recover better, all those different type of things. As you get more and more seasons under your belt, you want to continue to stay on top of your body and give yourself the best possible chance to be the best version of you every night, so that was the goal, for sure. “Another season under my belt. I want to be able to adjust and play faster, play on and off the ball. For me, being in shape is always number one, so I take pride in that and every year I try to go back . . . and adjust how I can be better and play faster and quicker basketball, be efficient.” -via Newsday / October 3, 2022
