Brunson is as steady as they come. He was the 2017-18 Big East Player of the Year. The son of former NBA player, Rick Brunson, Jalen was the leader and tough-shot maker for a very good Villanova team. He averaged 18.9 points and 4.6 assists per game. He has improved in both areas with each successive season. Brunson shot 40.8% from three-point range in 2017-18. He is a career 82% foul shooter with a 1.99-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio. ...Brunson should eventually translate into a top-tier NBA backup point guard. He may be picked in the late first round but we think that is probably a bit early.

 

Good Advice: In 2003, the 48th pick in the NBA Draft was James Lang. We advised, "Draft Kyle Korver."
