Maybe New York Knicks starting point guard Jalen Brunson was left out of the worst All-Star Game in decades for a reason. Who knows, he might end up winning two individual accolades at the end of the season.
Already a strong contender for the Most Improved Player award, Brunson also continues climbing the list of contenders for the newest individual award, the Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year.
Brunson jumped to No. 2 in the latest NBA.com’s Clutch Player Ladder behind Sacramento guard De’Aaron Fox.
The Knicks are 6-2 this month, with half of their wins going down the wire.
