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.

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%.
After last night’s victory, the Knicks have reached a new peak in team EPM (+7.3) going back to 2013.
