Dallas Mavericks fans know Jalen Brunson is a legit NBA player. He is trending towards making the All-Rookie team with his stellar performance since the Mavs trade deadline shakeup.
Since Jan. 31, Brunson is averaging 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 3-pointers made per game in 29.1 minutes. He is shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 37.0 percent on his threes.
Brunson’s play is a bit unexpected. He was a second-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Brunson was taken 33rd overall by the Mavericks. Was that the right spot?
