These people are paid to talk about basketball too. The advanced stats were screaming out that the guy was better than his season stats, and you didn't even need to use them since he showed out against the Jazz without Luka. It was painfully obvious that he would be a 20+ppg scorer with more touches and if his three point shot could improve he'd be a star, which it did. They are embarrassing and should neve talk about the NBA.
yeah, i didnt want brunson until i saw what he did in the playoffs without luka. i came on board with him since then. it seemed obvious he was going to be good for us. i was very vocal on the GB he was going to be good once we signed him and all the raptors fans got mad when i said i would easily take him over fred van felton. maybe i should bump that thread again.
I could understand people not wanting him before the playoffs, a lot of people thought he was a biproduct of Luka, but the stats were saying he was an iso scorer that got his own with or without Luka. Once he gave Donovan work and paid leave it should have squashed any doubts on what he was. The bare minimum was 20ppg scorer which was better than anything we've had, I thought he'd be good but he's exceeded even my expectations. I liked Fred, but Brunson is just a level above him, I think he's right at top 10 status and easily the best guard in the East.
