We talked about elevating him over Patrick Ewing, perhaps, as the best Knick of all time.
Do we bump one of these greats off the all-time 6'2 and under list?
I don't really know the answer to that question, subjective question there.
Aaron in Fort Wayne, you're up next.
Hey, Aaron.
And, you know, Josh Hart plays like a power forward out there.
The way he's grabbing those rebounds everywhere is,
Yeah, we have Isaiah Thomas on our initial list, so he's there for sure.
Two championships in Detroit.
Paulie, what do you think of that comp with Russell Wilson and Jalen Brunson?
I think we hit that a little bit on Wednesday with DP.
Russell Wilson came into the NFL as not a hot prospect, a really good college player, but it's almost like he didn't fit the mold of 6'5", 230, gunslinger.
So he went to the Seahawks in the third round.
He
found his way, and even now people are like, well, he's not that great, but the stats don't bear that out.
Brunson, he was awesome in college, but it didn't translate to the pro draft.
You covered the draft, and he was not, you know, no one wanted him.
No one desired him.
Even when the Knicks got him, like, we're settling for him, and it's almost like he doesn't fit the part because he can't sky over the rim and things like that.
I think what we underestimated, and by we, I mean everybody in the NBA, because everybody passed on Jalen Brunson.
