[IanBegley] Jalen Brunson’s assist numbers have jumped significantly since the OG Anunoby deal. Brunson’s assists per game (8.4) & assist percentage (35.5) since trade would both be top 6 in NBA if extrapolated over a full season.

Mainly because RJ was not hitting his shots
but for real, with OG things just open up and making JB and JR’s lives much easier
Not tryna overreact but OG might be the GOAT
Fit is so important in team sports but none quite like basketball. OG fits seamlessly here, and clearly it goes beyond just the defense. Still over the moon with this trade
Better shooting/spacing = better passing for everybody
OG’s most underrated skill is his High IQ on when to cut to the basket
He ALWAYS makes the correct cut to the open space under the hoop, and actually *PUTS HIS HANDS UP* to receive the pass
This has already led to a million easy dunks and layups
For some reason this is a skill a lot of NBA players do not have, the ability to know when to cut and then *finish the cut* and also put they hands up to get the pass
OG and Brunson match made in Heaven on offense
Just like Brunson makes Randle better, OG makes Brunson better. Though I’d say Brunson’s impact on Randle is bigger than OG’s impact on Brunson.
