The Dallas Mavericks drafted Jalen Brunson with the 33rd overall pick in 2018. He is an older rookie after playing three years at Villanova. Brunson turned 22 days on Aug. 31. He led the Wildcats to two national championships in his three seasons as their starting point guard, though.
Brunson is going to wear number 13 this season. The Mavericks had a famous point guard play in number 13. Soon to be Hall of Famer Steve Nash wore it during his six seasons in Dallas. It is easy to forget, but Nash had his breakout with the Mavs.
