Jalen Brunson has been an absolute treat to watch this season and is especially turning it on in March. The ultimate leader for one of the most consistent teams all year, this lefty has been tearing up defenses with his special blend of IQ, strength, vision and deep range.
The way he controls the game screams poor mans Chris Paul to me in more ways than one. While he will need to improve his passing to live up to that lofty comparison I just threw out there, he has good vision and with a good team around him, will be a great guard off the bench initially in the league.
His father is also current Timberwolves assistant, and former NBA guard Rick Brunson, so he knows his way around a locker room and how to be professional. Whoever gets him in the second will be lucky.
