One of the reasons that Jalen Brunson thrived in Tom Thibodeau's offense is that Thibodeau prefers to play at a slower, risk-averse tempo, and Brunson rarely commits turnovers. That superpower of his, taking care of the ball, will become more important than ever under Mike Brown, who loves playing an up-tempo, fast decision offense.
While the hounding ball pressure from the Indiana Pacers eventually broke Brunson and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Brunson has a reputation for making smart, sound decisions when he is controlling the ball. Admittedly, when you play as slow as the Knicks have during Brunson's tenure, that becomes a tad bit easier.
