Tim Legler breaks down Knicks’ potential under Mike Brown, journeyman career in deep dive with The Post
NY Post
ESPN NBA analyst and former NBA journeyman Tim Legler takes a shot at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: How will Mike Brown impact Jalen Brunson?
A: The biggest way he can impact Jalen Brunson is for there to be less overall amount of time that Jalen Brunson is dribbling the basketball because I do think that is a difficult road to navigate if your leading scorer is your point guard who has time of possession to the extent that Jalen Brunson does. I just think that’s a really hard thing to pull off for four rounds and win a title in the postseason when teams are getting more and more physical with you, they’re geared to stop him. It’s not like he’s 6-[foot]-8, can shoot over the top of guys. Mike Brown is gonna be able to take the ball out of his hands a little bit more to conserve some of that energy without him having to work so hard, the way that it does some nights when you watch Jalen and you just think, “My goodness, the workload on this guy, the usage rate on this guy, the amount of dribbling that’s taking place,” it wears you out. And I think Mike is gonna have a way to alleviate some of that and take that off his plate that’ll keep him, hopefully, fresher longer and fresher potentially for a two-month run, which is really what it’s all about.
Q: How will Mike Brown impact Karl Anthony-Towns?
A: I think he’s gonna be able to maximize his efficiency more so than what it was before. He drifts around the perimeter for long stretches of games at times. I think Mike Brown’s gonna utilize Karl Anthony-Towns where maybe his touches aren’t quite as high as they were before, but I think the places that he catches the ball are gonna be better. So he’s gonna have more nights where I think he’s scoring the ball like he typically does in that 20-25 point range, but his efficiency’s going to be better because I think the shot selection and overall shot quality for their offense is going to be better.
