IMO one of the problems with DSJ is that he was marginalized by 2 better players at his position his 2nd year. this limited his ability to learn on the floor, and no one had delusions about maturity in comparison to Brunson. The biggest compliment Brunson can receive is that he was able to come into this team and be patient enough to create a role complimentary and not competitive to Luka. DSJ simply was not capable to do so on a couple of levels, and Brunson closed the door on that ability.
