Brunson is a great player and this year he has been the best mavs player in playoff thus far… it’s Lukas team but he ain’t winning anything without a second player
Brunson is stronger than small guards and can use his shifty handles, relative quickness and incredible finishing ability under the rim against bigs, but long athletic wings are his kryptonite, that's why he didn't play against the Clippers who play 4 of those at any given minutes, he couldn't get a shot off or pass, Luka's absurd on/off numbers were because of that, Dinwiddie would've faired better against the Clippers, that's why I expect the Suns to put Bridges on him, and take him out of the game, Jazz limited athleticism and length are the main factor behind his amazing series.
So I guess Brunson can’t improve in a year or a coach can’t game plan to maximize their effectiveness? Brunson and Luka couldn’t beat Kawhi and pg13- no surprise - PG13 better than Brunson and Kawhi is better than Luka... but fortunately they don’t have to play the clippers. If size matters... CP3 is shorter as Brunson....and Luka is taller than devin Booker - let’s go —
