Brunson has made a leap, and his flashy style is quite entertaining.
Having said that, if it were me, I wouldn't sink big money into Brunson, without seeing much more indication that he can perform under playoff-like conditions.
Love what he is doing to help Luka, but against good teams, he is a pretty severe defensive liability, and is too easy to shut down on the offensive end. I could see him helping a contender in the playoffs in a backup capacity, with the right matchup. Actually, a rebuilding team that isn't worried about performance in the playoffs might be an ideal place, from both a team and player point of view, for JB to end up.
