Can?t tell anything from an exhibition game but damn there wasn?t one NBA player on the other team. Jalen is the real deal but imo not better than DRose so he?s going to be a building block and not the guy to get the Knicks to the NBA finals.
The past two seasons D.Rose leadership & closer skills were the best player on the Knicks roster.
Brunson & Randle may become suspects without having any team-leadership within their talent/skills and performance.
Adding Jalen Brunson to the Knicks to take Randle's job as the Knicks full time PG, and not trading Randle to the next team may result in a catastrophe Knicks season.
Randle has not mix well or co-existed well in lineups with NBA PG's .. Lin Sanity, Lou Williams, DLO (Russell), Lonzo Ball, Caruso, Clarkson, Payton, Rivers, and D.Rose.
And Brunson's PG performance NEEDED big help from play-makers Doncic and Dinwiddie's creative ball-movement in the lineup to win and close games.
Brunson & Randle controlling the ball and decision making on offense may result in the same out come as the summer pro game .. both players are not creative on offense, plus have a poor defense, poor ball-movement, and are only good at given a slow ISO half-court offense throughout the game.
And if Brunson have to dribble the ball every time he touch it like Randle & Barrett than expect a Knicks lottery season.
Efrid Payton or Kemba ???
