Yes, Brunson would absolutely 100% be the starting point guard in Detroit. Easily. Is Brunson a starting PG on a championship team? No, but he's certainly proven himself to be a high character, young, NBA rotation player for probably the next decade. He's also on a rookie deal.
Brunson knows how to play and would stabilize the PG situation in Detroit while they rebuild with more salary flexibility.
Calling Brunson the No 4 PG in Dallas is not really fair. You know Doncic will get 34-36 minutes at point and the Mavs have plenty of other guys who can run the team when Doncic sits, including JJ Barea who I've said all year will get more time as the season goes on. Brunson is a luxury in Dallas.
