Brunson is averaging 6.7 assists and just 1.7 turnovers per game through his first 18 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it\u2019s different, each season is different,\u201d Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said Wednesday when asked about Randle\u2019s adjustment. \u201cI think you have different personnel. So how does it all work together? Everyone has to sacrifice something for the team. I think that\u2019s important to put the team first. And I think he\u2019s done that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Randle netted a season-low nine points on 4-for-11 shooting and didn\u2019t play in the fourth quarter of Sunday\u2019s loss to the Suns, but the 2021 All-Star bounced back and netted 25 with 11 rebounds the following night in the win over the Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I looked at the Phoenix game, it was a two-point game with three or four minutes left in the third quarter, and they went on a run. And the thing got away from us real fast, so I didn\u2019t put him back in, in the fourth quarter,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cWe had a back-to-back, five [games] in seven [days]. And so that was the reasoning behind that.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/1436273868.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Knicks\" class=\"wp-image-24771918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/1436273868.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/1436273868.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/1436273868.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBut I think he\u2019s done a lot of good things for us. We need him to play unselfishly and do all the things that he brings to our team. Sometimes it\u2019s his passing, scoring, shooting, rebounding, defense, whatever it might be helping the team function well and I think our starters are, each night it\u2019s someone different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Randle\u2019s shooting percentage also has ticked back up this season \u2014 from a career-worst 41.1 percent from the field one year ago to 46.7 percent.
