Heading into Team USA training camp, there was some debate on NBA social media regarding the starting point guard position. On one side were the fans of Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton, pointing to his All-Star selection last season and his stewardship of a wack-ass, lottery-bound Indiana club. On the side were supporters of Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson...and common sense.
Well count this as a victory for common sense, as Team USA head coach Steve Kerr seems intent on locking in Brunson at the starting PG spot. Brunson started at the point in all three days of scrimmages against the USA Select Team, occasionally playing alongside Haliburton in two-PG lineups.
