Running more of the offense through Karl-Anthony Towns has not lightened Jalen Brunson's workload nearly enough. Playing him more alongside Tyler Kolek might.
Daily Knicks writer Dan Favale argues that the New York Knicks should pair Tyler Kolek with Jalen Brunson to lessen Brunson's heavy offensive workload. Despite running more of the offense through Karl-Anthony Towns, Brunson's time spent with the ball in his hands has climbed to 59.5 percent this season, compared to 45.7 percent last year.
Favale suggests that playing Kolek alongside Brunson would ease backcourt ball-handling pressure and provide more dynamic live-dribble passing. Although Kolek and Brunson have played only six minutes together all season under coach Mike Brown, the writer contends that reducing regular-season wear and tear on Brunson is worth testing the pairing.
