1 While that may be true as to quantity (so far in JB's career), I don't think it is regarding efficiency. Brunson is already surpassing KW's shooting percentages (career, and current) from the floor, and still trending upward.
2 I'm not convinced that pnr is the be-all end-all of basketball play. It's one skill, but there are other ways to create offense too, and I think JB is already showing significant ability to create offense.
You might take a peek at KW's stats in his 1st 3 seasons, and also remember who he was in college compared to Brunson. JB compares very favorably. In college they were the same guy - team leader, PG, taking team to great heights, but undersized. (Burke is in the same mold, fwiw.) Brunson is actually showing more NBA efficiency than KW did in his early NBA years. The only diff is that KW got more minutes, so his numbers were bigger.
JB is the biggest of the 3 btw.
