Jalen Brunson Highlights Knicks' Adjustment Period with New Coach and System

Jalen Brunson recently acknowledged that the New York Knicks are "still learning" and adapting to a new head coach, Mike Brown, and a new system, emphasizing that "everything is brand new for us." While he stated this won't be a long-term excuse, he noted the initial weeks are "still fresh" for the team, which is navigating high championship expectations after their first conference finals appearance in 25 years. Coach Brown has also been transparent about his own adjustments, admitting his early substitutions were "all over the map" but feeling more consistent recently, which has coincided with improved performances from players like Josh Hart and Jordan Clarkson. Brown has taken accountability, stating, "We all have to be better. Start with me. And we will be better," a sentiment followed by stronger offensive play in recent games.
