According to league insiders, the Knicks’ pursuit of Mavericks free agent guard Jalen Brunson is gaining considerable speed.
Derrick Rose:
For the Knicks, Derrick Rose may be worth more than just what he can contribute on the court. Their precedence in free agency may be secured only by his presence.
The seasoned guard serves as yet another link between the Knicks and sought-after point guard Jalen Brunson. Their relationship dates back to Brunson’s formative years in Illinois, when Derrick Rose was the Bulls’ star point guard and Brunson had aspirations of one day playing in the NBA.
Draft:
Jalen Brunson’s draft year is 2018
Round: 2 / Pick: 33
For Jaden Ivey, the Knicks didn’t move up. They didn’t downgrade. In order to free up cap space, they added future protected picks, traded some picks, and completely exited the first round of the NBA Draft on Thursday. It appears that they did this with Jalen Brunson in mind.
Jalen Brunson, a strong left-handed guard, was a crucial member of the 2016 NCAA Champion Villanova Wildcats as a freshman.
