• Kevin McCullar is the best candidate for the Rookie Min (in his opinion)
• Mike Brown will have a say in the final veteran signing
REPORT: Free Agent Guards Malcolm Brogdon & Landry Shamet are two names to keep an eye on for the Knicks’ last roster spot, per @ZachLowe_NBA.

Jalen Brunson.
DIFFERENT BREED 🥶
Mikal Bridges when he's the primary defender (min. 20 FGAs) against some of the East’s contending top guards:
🧱 Jalen Suggs: 5/21 (23.8%)
🧱 Trae Young: 14/47 (29.8%)
That’s not defense… that’s solitary confinement. 🔒
