Mikal has quietly been the biggest beneficiary of Coach Brown’s system
November 3, 2025
It's a storyline thats been sort of outshined by JB's brilliance, the new rotations, and the 3-game skid, but imo this is THE defining positive narrative of the new season.

It is kind of blatant, but glad he is thriving
Nothing quiet about it. He’s balling
Always been a rhythm player so it makes sense. More ball movement and he thrives
Mike brown basically just said he’s the only one that knows how to recover and move in this offense
Honestly? Fact that he didn’t play well last year is probably one of the reasons Thibs got fired.
Clearly they thought he’d be one of the last pieces of the puzzle and most of the time he was sort of an afterthought.
Can someone tell me whats “Mike brown’s system” and why Mikal specifically works well with it?
I’m new to the NBA.
Don’t think it’s particularly quiet, dude clearly hated playing for Thibs
He’s killing it, him and Brunson have been great
Feel like he has to try hard after selling thibs out last year – if he sucked this year too, the story would be that he sucks not the coach sucks
