Jalen Brunson Stats

Update:

Jalen Brunson struggled shooting in games 1 and 2. But for a player whose scoring is about angles and counters, has he just been feeling the Spurs' defenders out? If history's a predictor - just as he does within games - he'll improve his efficiency as the series goes on.

Great viz. A couple observations: 🏀Staggered Kolek w/ Brunson, as opposed to playing them together as Brown has of late 🏀That’s impacted by McBride return; from mid-Q3 on Brown didn’t play Brunson a single min w/o McBride 🏀Complete unwillingness to play Yabu w/o a defensive C

Josh Hart this season with Jalen Brunson on vs. off the court. Roommates jokes aside, could this inform lineup construction in a Mitch-starting future? #NewYorkForever

Which Knick owns which zone? Looking at which Knick players have had the most field goals made from each shooting location this season, who stands out? #NewYorkForever

On-➡️ vs off-ball⬆️ gravity per @The_BBall_Index. Brunson & KAT jump off page, but I’m maybe most (pleasantly) surprised by Hart as a + off-ball, above OG, in the context of the starting 5. His hesitance to fire away from 3 is a thing of the past & is important to the offense.

As we near January, player usage may be stabilizing. Taking a look at which Knicks have used which playtypes more (larger headshots for more possessions), and who's been most efficient at which playtype (left to right for more points/poss). Who stands out? #NewYorkForever

Knicks’ scoring highs so far this season: 🧑‍✈️Brunson 55 😼Towns 46 🌉Bridges 41 🔒Anunoby 40 Per @MSGNetworks, this is the first time in NBA history that 4 different players on the same team have each scored 40+ in a game before January 1st. #NewYorkForever

Having some fun with this year’s Knicks “passing loom”! The left represents the passer (sorted by the players who pass the most) and the right represents the pass receiver (sorted by the players who receive the most passes). 🧵👇 #NewYorkForever

He’s the oldest, but Jalen Brunson has distinguished himself from 2 of his most-compared upstart guards thus far in ‘24-25. JB / Maxey / Hali: PTS: 25.1/24.3/17.8 AST: 7.5/4.6/8.4 TS%: 62%/52%/56% Season EPM: 4.6/1.7/1.3 LEBRON: 2.9/0.8/0.7 BPM: 3.7/1.4/1.6 #NewYorkForever
