There is an interesting read in this morning's NY POST, in which ex Maverick Knick point guard, DEREK HARPER, the rudder of our Pat Riley led 1993 to 1994 NBA Finals Knicks, speaks up with considerable enthusiasm on behalf of JALEN BRUNSON, taken from the perspective of a winning point guard, and as a Mavs broadcaster who has watched Jalen Brunson compete and come of age.
Cool.
But when did Harper see Brunson run a team's show?
An did he ever see him play dogged defense a la...... well - DEREK HARPER?
Knicks have been said to be looking for a defensive type at that off guard spot. RJ uses length to compensate, Evan height. But neither is a shut down guy nor destined to be.
