New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson admitted to facing challenges with Mike Brown's offense on Thursday. The guard opened up on the struggle after his team's hard-fought win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, during which the Knicks only scored 38 points in one half.
As a player who thrives off cuts and in transition, Bridges stands to benefit from less structure and it’s shown at times in preseason. Same with McBride, who is probably the most athletic on the roster and the most impressive through three exhibitions.

This year, it's going to be a little more freedom with the movement and a lot of guys cutting, guys getting active."
