Through the first week of the NBA playoffs, one thing that has stood out is the lack of ball movement from the New York Knicks in their series with the Detroit Pistons. Speaking to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, one scout for a Western Conference team thinks that Jalen Brunson's style of play has "caught up" with the Knicks in the playoffs:

When an NBA game is on the line, you want the basketball in New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson’s hands. He was named Clutch Player of the Year.

As the Knicks navigate the postseason as the No. 3 seed in a tough battle against the Pistons, the NBA announced that Brunson is the Clutch Player of the Year, having won the award over the likes of Nikola Jokic, Anthony Edwards and other marquee players.
