‘Between Praise and Provocation?” Jaylen Brunson, “Embiid is the best player in the game. But…”

Brunson talked about the MVP.

Jaylen Brunson (6-foot-9, G) has developed into one of the best guards in the league this season, averaging 28.7 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game this season. He was named to the NBA All-Second Team for his performance.

This continued in the playoffs. New York was able to thrive despite injuries to key players. Brunson averaged 32.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game, making him the 카지노 King of New York.

Recently, Brunson sat down with USA TODAY Sports to reflect on the playoffs. When asked, “Who was your toughest opponent?” Brunson picked Joel Embiid (C, 6-foot-9).

“I’ve played a lot of guys,” Brunson said. There are so many great players. But Embiid is the best, he’s the best player in the league. He dominates the game. He can score for himself. He creates for his teammates. He can control the pace of the game. He can control the pace of the game and he can defend,” he said.

Embiid was a monster in the first round of the playoffs against New York, averaging 33 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. It was the reason the series was so tight.

Afterward, Brunson said, “Embiid is the MVP. But in the end, we won. (Laughs) He didn’t get past the first round. That’s why I’m curious to see what he’s going to do next season,” Brunson added in a lighthearted taunt.

Meanwhile, Embiid is considered one of the best players in the league. However, his playoff performance hasn’t been stellar. He’s averaging 24.9 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in the playoffs. That’s a slight drop from his regular season numbers. (He averaged 27.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in the regular season) and has struggled with injuries.

As a team, they have yet to reach the Conference Finals, meaning they have never gotten past the second round. This is one of the reasons why Embiid has received a lot of criticism. But can the team show a different side in the playoffs next season, and even make it to the Conference Finals? For that to happen, Embiid will need to stay healthy in the playoffs.
