Brunson ascended when he was 24 ...... 2nd rounders......cannot predict that.... Dallas did a good enough job encouraging him but made a mistake not keeping him. Brunson is a midget player much like Freddie Van Vleet just better. SGA stayed in College late as well but he was at least the 11th pick, a late lotto pick, skinny, good size at 6'6. The Playmaking came later.
