He's going to have a breakout season.

I thought he'd be an all-star caliber guard, I honestly never thought he'd be a top 5 player and flat out superstar, because that's exactly what he is.
I was expecting a solid PG and instead we got a superstar.by 3toheadmelo » Mon Sep 5, 2022 3:36 pm
since we didn't get donovan mitchell, it looks like this is going to be brunson's team to run. whats your expectations on him? predictions? just trying to change the conversation on this board since we've been debating about the same things every day
i'll start my predictions
17.5 ppg 6.7 apg on 46/38/82 splits

I am coming to this thread looking for prophets.

There's at least four benefits here. 1 He's a massive upgrade at a position of dire need. 2 As a player he's on the upswing. 3 His presence could or should go a long way in developing a bunch of young players on the roster and 4 Leaving the Mavericks as their second best player can only help improve that draft pick, the rights of which the Knicks own. Maybe I'm being a homer but it all feels legit

This is almost right for 100% except those Mavs decided to tank and ditch us that pick.

You came rushing in to give me compliments and tell everyone what a swell guy I am? Why would I get my own thread? Because I'm awesome!! That's why!! Jalen Bluntson for President!! Buzz!! Wanna be my running mate? We can tell everyone they're losers and they should vote for us or we will kill them! Once we get into power we can nuke asteroids and make them crash into earth!! YES!!
