I was definitely wrong about the little man. He was an excellent 2nd round pick by the MBT and will be a top bench player for many years. When he takes a shot I´m actually confident it will go in. The only other Mavericks I can say that about are Luka and Porzingis. Curry I´m confident, when it´s uncontested. Everybody else...eh.
Normally I´d say Brunson is too short to be a starter, but given our potential/projected size at all other positions (Luka, DFS, Porzingis, Powell), it might actually be beneficial to have one smaller player in the starting 5 that has the speed and lateral quickness to defend the smaller opposing PGs. We´ll see.
The larger problem is that Brunson stands out so clearly, cause Wright and Curry have been so underwhelming. Admittedly it´s pre-season, but I heard THJ is already preparing the guestrooms in the doghouse.
