Tim Thibodeau on Jalen Brunson’s impact on Knicks

Jalen Brunson has had his best game for the Knicks so far this season as he scored 21 points, dished out 6 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds in a win over the Pacers.

New York’s head coach Tim Thibodeau talked about what the 26-year-old point guard brings to his team, saying that his energy is contagious.

“These guys have been here all summer, and the biggest thing about adding Jalen was just, once he started coming in and he did it immediately, then everybody started coming in,” Thibodeau said, per Steve Popper of Newsday. “You can’t ask for anything more than that. It’s very contagious.”

This season Brunson is averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 32 minutes per game for New York.
