Mike Brown’s Knicks pace change brings big Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns questions
NY Post
LAS VEGAS — A Hall of Fame coach seems skeptical the Knicks coaching change can lead to a different offensive identity.
“They’re always saying in New York, [Tom Thibodeau] does too much isolation. Well that’s what Jalen Brunson does,” Jim Boeheim, the Syracuse legend and former Team USA assistant, said Monday on NBATV during a summer league broadcast. “If you don’t let Jalen Brunson do 1-on-1 situations — he’s not a guy who comes off screens. He has to have the ball, the same thing he did at Villanova when they won a couple national championships.
“Isolate, go to the basket, you can’t stop him. So I don’t know.”
Mike Brown relayed a preference to facilitate a speedier offense, declaring in his introductory press conference, “Everybody knows I like to play fast.” In Sacramento, Brown’s teams were middle of the road in pace – ranking No. 12 and No. 14 during the coach’s two full seasons.
