KNICKS CEILING!? + HOW THE NBA IS EVOLVING | Ep.722

from Combo's Court Hosted by Andrew "Combo" Salop

Justin Morelli CEO and Host of The Shot Clock joins Combo’s Court for a wide-ranging NBA conversation that begins with the New York Knicks and expands into how the league — and the way we evaluate greatness — is changing. We kick things off by breaking down the Knicks’ biggest on-court concerns, focusing on roster construction, defense, and whether elite offense can truly outweigh defensive liabilities when the playoffs slow the game down. We debate the Brunson–Karl-Anthony Towns fit, Mike Brown’s new system, and whether these are solvable issues or real limits on the Knicks’ championship ceiling. From there, the conversation opens up to the league at large: • Why NBA scoring has exploded • What efficiency really means — and what fans often misunderstand • Why midrange shot-making still decides playoff games • How coaching, pace, and spacing have reshaped the modern NBA We also dive deep into player evaluation and development: • Cade Cunningham vs. Jalen Brunson — size, skill, defense, and playoff proof • What defines a true franchise player today • Kon Knueppel’s ceiling and realistic NBA outcome • Cooper Flagg’s projection beyond “generational” hype Make a deposit of $5 or more and receive $50 instantly here: prizepicks.onelink.me/ivHR/COMBO Support the show: Cash App $CombosCourt | Venmo @CombosCourt Drop a review wherever you listen!
