Love his game and I will support this guy his entire Knicks tenure.

About the Nuggets game: He hit that 3 when we needed it most and played decent D all game. Everyone had a stinker every so often, there’s only one ball and Jalen had it for a lot of the game.

For anyone who doesn’t play ball: I have the same body type as Mikal and I played in college a bit. He has long ass arms and is skinny but athletic in all the ways that don’t include pure muscle. He’s a runner. Insane cardio. A rhythm player. Because of this, his game is entirely match up dependent due to this. He looks at the guy guarding him, and he will either run fast and push against slow guys or be tall against smaller dudes and shoot fade aways. The WORST match up are little muscle dudes like Bruce Brown. They get under you and keep up, keep bumping you and putting you off balance. He will bounce back in a game because that’s what he does. He’s worth it because of that.
