Knicks: made 2 great trades to help the bench out. Brunson top 10 player
The Knicks are hard peg in my mind as a group and I am still not sure where Brunson should rank. For example, consider these top East guards (in alphabetical order):
Brunson
Haliburton
Lillard
Maxey
Mitchell
Young
How do you rank these against each other? And perhaps more importantly, how do you rank them against someone like Curry who can from the guard position, lead at team to actual title contention? I honestly am still not sure how to rank Brunson. His play in NYK has far exceeded anything I expected.
I think Mitchell is better for sure, and maybe Lillard. Not sure about Halliburton and Maxey. Young is really good too (albeit really undersized). Can the Celtics (with White and Holiday) take advantage of the smaller guards? Brunson, Lillard, and Maxey are all listed at 6'-2". Mitchell 6'-3". Young 6'-1" (Young looks smaller than that).
I do agree that adding Anunoby and Bogdanovic are nice additions but it is the top end of the Knicks that I wonder about.
