Jalen Brunson is averaging 5.5 PPG in the clutch this season, which is the 2nd highest ever in a season since the NBA began tracking clutch stats (min 10 GP). He is the only in NBA history to average over 50 FG% while scoring over 5.0 clutch PPG.

Jalen Brunson is having a historic clutch season for the Knicks which has slightly gone overlooked. Brunson is averaging 5.5 PPG on 50.6 FG% in the clutch this season which is the most since Westbrook averaged 6.2 PPG in the clutch during his MVP season. The Knicks are currently 15 and 7 in clutch games which is a better clutch winning percentage than any team’s regular season winning percentage except BOS, OKC, and CLE.

Brunson’s decision making and playmaking has also been elite in the clutch this season. He is 3rd in the NBA in total clutch assists despite playing fewer clutch games than anyone in the top 11 in total clutch assists this season. To highlight his playmaking impact, he currently has more clutch assists (21) and fewer turnovers (7) than Jokic (20 assists, 12 turnovers) this season despite playing in less clutch games.

Funny enough Brunson gets even more clutch as the game gets closer. He’s putting up 56.5/50.0/85.7 splits within 1 minute to go in the clutch and he is shooting 64.3/50/87.5 with 30 seconds left to go in the clutch

While Brunson remains the favorite for Clutch Player of the Year, these stats further show just how incredible his season has been, in clutch situations.
