“These were the other two nominees from last year’s list who didn’t make it to All-Star Sunday. There are spots in the East to be had, with Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard, an All-Star with Milwaukee last year, all absent this season. The trick for both two-way Knicks is to shine enough behind Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, then not split consideration with each other,” Aschburner wrote.

Bridges and Anunoby flashed their great two-way abilities throughout the season last year. Bridges averaged 17.6 points on 50% shooting from the floor, while Anunoby provided 18.0 points with 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks while also shooting 37.2% from three-point range.

Bridges and Anunoby provide a huge impact

Their abilities to make an impact on both ends of the floor are largely impactful for New York. Them two being the complements to Brunson and Towns make them have one of the most talented starting units in the entire league, and it speaks volumes to the kind of depth they have.
