Yeah, I agree with this.
So, what are the things that make those guys transcendent that Brunson doesn't have? I'm really asking here, because no matter how well Brunson plays, I kind of share your opinion about his ceiling, but it's more intuition than anything else for me. Is it speed? Quickness? Basketball IQ? He has become a good shooter, imo, and is improving still.
