Where other guys can chain 2-3 moves together, Brunson will do 2-3 dribble moves, pump fake, step through, and then turn around and fade. Or where people will hesi and then hit a pullback dribble and shoot, Brunson has the footwork to add in another crossover and sidestep on top of that to generate space. It's unreal. He's like the Tasmanian Devil lol. Just a whirling dervish.
Also I like what I see on defense. He doesn't get smoked by other PGs in iso, and on rotations he's always in position rotating early at the nail to slow down Embiid on short rolls and contesting defensive rebounds. I expected him to have a mini Harden-esque leap coming to New York as the man. He's taken almost a full Harden leap honestly.
Unreal what a guy this small is doing without outlier athleticism. The combination of skill and physicality is remarkable. Glad I got to go to Knicks-Warriors this year and see him up close
Seriously. But I do think his strength for his size miiight be outlier. I've seen him bump centers off before which is unreal.
