Mikal Bridges is a Knick, for a very steep price based on the impact metrics. Short thread on why the public all-in-one advanced metrics are *impact* metrics, not *talent* metrics, and why team context will be the most important factor for Bridges' performance in NY 🧵👇

Update:
Jalen Brunson struggled shooting in games 1 and 2. But for a player whose scoring is about angles and counters, has he just been feeling the Spurs' defenders out? If history's a predictor - just as he does within games - he'll improve his efficiency as the series goes on.

Should the Knicks root for the Celtics (to distance the Cavs and help the Knicks lock in a top 3 seed), or for the Cavs (to bring the 2 seed within reach but risk falling to 4)?
19%Definitely Celtics
17%Maybe Celtics
20%Maybe Cavs
43%Definitely Cavs

Gravity usually refers to shooting, but Mitchell Robinson breaks the mold. 💪Opponents need to put in a team effort to box him out. In addition to his personal boards, his presence increases teammates’ REB rates. 🎯His paint gravity & defense-bending boards boon teammates’ 3P%.

Predictive EPM has crowned a new best player on the New York Knicks. It may not be one of most people’s first couple of guesses. For some of us, though, it may be. #NewYorkForever
