The Lone Rangers have played very well this season, currently with a record of 24 wins and 19 losses, ranking fifth in the West, and they have also won consecutively recently and are one of the best teams in their current form. Led by Doncic and Porzingis, this team is really something to look forward to this season, and the team's role players are still very competitive, which is one of the reasons why they are in excellent form this season!
At present, in the team, in addition to the two absolute core players of Doncic and Porzingis, the team's third-highest average player per game is Jaylen Brunson. As the team's most important role player, he will become a free agent this summer, and many teams will be interested in the 25-year-old. According to Fountain Report reporter Eric Pincus, some competitor executives in the league believe that Brunson will seek a 4-year, $80 million contract in the offseason, which is not known to be able to eat for the Lone Rangers!
Brunson played in 42 games for the Lone Rangers this season, including 24 as a starter, averaging 30.9 minutes per game, averaging 16 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists, shooting 51 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range. And his average assists per game is second only to Doncic, the second organizing point of the team!
In doncic's absence, Brunson became the absolute core organizational point of the team, he has 28 points and 6 assists, 25 points and 9 assists, 18 points, 11 assists and 27 points and 6 assists in a single game, completely playing a team's absolute core state, but also leading the Lone Rangers have been struggling to support, waiting for Doncic's return!
Although he has played very well this season, the average salary of $20 million contract seems to be some big for him, to know that his height is only 185, there is still a certain disadvantage on the defensive end, and it may not work particularly well in the key moments of the playoffs, which is also his death hole. So for him, the average salary of about 15 million may be the most appropriate, of course, do not rule out that competitors give the Lone Ranger very much pressure, the contract will also have the possibility of rising!
