NBA teams have scouting departments that scour the country – the whole world, really – for talent.
And yet, finding that talent is only half of the equation and two players on the court Monday night in Oklahoma City are the proof.
In their own ways, Mavericks’ guard Jalen Brunson and Oklahoma City center Moses Brown both flew under the radar on their journey to the NBA.
Brunson, we are well aware of. He was the college player of the year in 2018, yet was not drafted in the first round that year. Instead, he’s had to carve out a role the hard way as a second-round draftee.
