It's just Brunson and Randle taking turns ISOing. They move the ball less than we do.

OG's role will be to stand in the corner and take the 3 if Brunson and Randle can't find a shot.


Depends if he plays most of his minutes with them or not. RJ and IQ are leaving behind 27% and 24% in USG rates that have to go somebody.


More shots for Brunson and Randle.

I saw some Knicks fans were complaining that RJ took too many shots away from their main guys.


Not sure how much more usage those guys can handle, they're already way up there. I don't think either of these guys are superstars that would warrant mid 30's USG rates. Brunson being a smaller guard would be worn down carrying that kind of load most likely too.

Doubt it, that's why he left the Raptors.

OG hasn't gotten shots up here but him running to the 3 point line as been good for them. Brunson has gotten 2 open corner 3's in like b2b possessions because a defender is actually sticking to OG.

I think OG will gets shots eventually as they get used to him

Brunson+Randle have taken 17/31 shots so far.

imagine both casey and nurse really like og...both will have capspace this summer.
I can see sixers overpaying for sure as they'll see him as a 'last piece' to the championship puzzle.

its tough to say from one game alone. og won't shoot as much as he's trying to find his place on the team still.

OG will play better once he gets some reps with the team and finds his spots.

Precious though... I think this is his last stop outside of being used as salary filler in another deal.

NY guys not even looking to pass to OG or Precious, not even DHOs.

Feels like this trade was to maximize possessions for Brunson and get two guys permanently stapled in as defenders.

...Smart.

great defense by OG leading to offense. Towns is such a frustrating player to watch though.
