Jalen Brunson is picking up where he left off in the playoffs before the New York Knicks’ season ended in the second round. The point guard will represent Team USA at the 2023 FIBA World Cup that begins later this month, and Brunson’s already made quite the impact at training camp in Las Vegas.
Knicks fans aren’t surprised by the success that Brunson has already had as part of Team USA’s roster. Although there were doubts from fans around the league and the media about the four-year contract that he signed with New York in free agency last offseason, Brunson quickly emerged as a star once the 2022-23 season began.
