But we already went in the cheap rote expecting that Jerian Grant, Frank, Mudlay, Dennis Smith, Trey Burke, Payton, and even Allonzo Trier would be a good starting Point guard.
Don't disrespect IQ by lumping him in with that list of names. He's miles ahead of anything any one of those guys have ever done in the NBA. Him earning a starting spot next season and excelling in the role is completely realistic and even very likely IMO. If only they'd just hand him the keys with confidence, continue to develop the young core and be brave enough to live with the results.
I still want nothing to do with Brunson, especially with that price tag. Knicks have to figure out an extension for RJ, they're facing either paying Mitch or letting him walk for zilch, and they're still paying Randle and Fournier big bucks. Soon it will be time to pay IQ and Obi as well. Brunson makes no sense to me.
