00:00Brunson's next level may not involve scoring more points. It may actually involve making those
00:05points easier and making sure the Knicks don't always need a 40 piece to survive. Because the
00:10biggest question for Brunson at 30 isn't whether he can still carry the Knicks. We already know
00:15that he can. It's whether he can help make everyone around him better. Recently on the
00:20Road Trippin podcast, Kendrick Perkins gave Brunson an interesting assignment. Make it a
00:25personal mission to help OG Ananobi become an all-star. Now look, Brunson obviously cannot
00:30control the voting, but the larger idea does make some sense. Could he consistently create easier
00:35opportunities for OG Ananobi? Could he help Carl T. Towns dominate without disappearing from the
00:41offense himself like we saw in the playoffs? Could Mikel Bridges receive more chances to attack before
00:46the defense gets set? The next evolution of Brunson might be measured by how rarely he has to rescue
00:53the Knicks, not how spectacular those rescues are.
