Jalen Brunson, a 6-2 point guard for the Knicks, is considered the best player on their team despite being undersized. Despite this, he could carry the team to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, or even all the way. He is one of only a few players his size have done so successfully, like Isiah Thomas for the Pistons and Steph Curry for the Warriors. However, he will need help from other teams like the Celtics, Wolves, and Thunder. The Knicks also need role players like OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges to improve. Brunson's scoring average of 25 points per game is a key goal for the team, but he maintains his innocence.
