On the sixth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, Geoff and XJ give their broad takeaways from the first 16 games of the Knicks' season. The pair discuss Julius Randle and whether the Knicks are approaching a point where they must decide about his future with the team sooner than you might think. The episode also includes a discussion about whether Jalen Brunson can be the best offensive player on a championship-level team and if there is a negative correlation between Brunson's and RJ's performances. Finally, XJ and Geoff dive into an interesting conversation about whether it is possible that high-level "role players" could be just as valuable as many primary offensive initiators.
