Jalen Brunson is, for the most part, a known quantity.<\/p>\n
A good way to view the Knicks offense is that Brunson is the floor, and his supporting cast is the ceiling. A big part of that is OG Anunoby. When he is aggressive and involved offensively, it is usually a good sign for overall success.<\/p>\n
When Anunoby scores 20 or more points this year, the Knicks are 22-4. In their past two wins, over the Grizzlies and Bulls, he scored 25 and then 31 points.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the version of Anunoby the Knicks will need in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s starting to fully understand his areas where he can be aggressive within the offense, within the flow of the game,\u201d Josh Hart said after practice Sunday. \u201cThat\u2019s one thing about Mike [Brown], Mike never tells us not to do something. He always wants us to be aggressive, he wants us to shoot shots. \u2026 He doesn\u2019t really put limits on us, and I think OG is really starting to really understand \u2018where can I be aggressive? Where can I find my spots to go score?\u2019 He\u2019s an efficient scorer, physical, athletic, so he\u2019s starting to understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n
