New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is on a quest for his second championship after ending the Knicks’ drought of winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy this summer.
Brunson led a movement that snapped a 53-year drought of losing, but he hopes to bring another ring to the Knicks. Bleacher Report contributor Andy Bailey believes Brunson will be the 24th-best player in the NBA by the start of the new decade.
“Brunson has already had to learn how to dominate at both a size and athleticism deficit. He’s done it with skill and craft,” Bailey wrote. “And neither trait is likely to abandon Brunson over the next four years. In fact, there’s a real chance he only sharpens those between now and 2030. We just witnessed Chris Paul remain very effective well into his 30s, and the similarly built Brunson could do the same.”
Brunson turns 30 this summer, which could suggest that he is heading towards a decline. However, the injuries he has faced over the years have not slowed him down, and there’s reason to believe that he isn’t stopping anytime soon.
There is still potential that Brunson has not played up to the best of his abilities quite yet. It’s possible he could have another gear in him, which would be great for the Knicks.
