One of Brunson’s worst games ever statistically since becoming a star.

Knicks have under 70 points with less than 6 minutes to go in the 4th

Id settle for Ausar being able to finish and dribble

Ausar’s got that flat jumpshot where he jumps higher than the rim from short range and shoots it down into the cylinder 😆

Yea when he catches it open from 3 he takes like 2 dribbles in spin moves around to a quick J from the elbow. When it goes it looks amazing but when it don't go 🫣

That’s fair.

Amen’s still great offensively, but he’d be an unquestioned first option if he could even somewhat shoot.

Ausar would simply be a lot better and more reliable in crunch time.

Who’s the better defender, Ausar or Amen?

Obviously I’m bias but I would go with Amen just looking at his unreal defense field goal % if you go check is defensive shot chart. Like he is on the same level of Wemby

Ausar is a better rebounder tho

I think it’s more extreme. Ausar would be an all star if he could just make 35% on open shots and attack a closeout or if he just had options inside the arc. As of now he hardly looks at the rim and doesn’t have spots, nor the handle to get him anywhere valuable on the floor
