The NBA is a legendary stage and a place where miracles are born. There are many players who were originally unknown in the league, but then slowly rose to become the team's puzzle. There are many stars who have grown step by step from the original substitute players to become star players and top salary players. And this season, the NBA has another small person outbreak, and it is likely that he will be able to win a big contract in the offseason.
According to US media reports, many team executives now believe that lone ranger guard Brunson has a chance to get a four-year and eighty-million contract in the offseason after this season's performance. Previously, Brunson was a substitute for the Lone Rangers, earning just $1.6 million this season, but the offseason had the chance to win a contract with an annual salary of $20 million, which is enough to prove how good he has been this season.
Brunson played doncic's bench in the Lone Ranger, and coincidentally, he and Doncic were drafted in the same term. Doncic was the no. 3 pick of that year, while Brunson was the third pick in the second round. This season, Brunson seized the team's injury-ridden chance, averaging 16 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. During Doncic's absence due to injury, Brunson did a good job of the heavy lifting that the team had entrusted him, especially in the eight games before Doncic's return, he averaged 22.4 points and 7.9 assists per game, shooting 52% + 40%.
Although his height of 1.85 meters does not have an advantage on the court, his scoring ability is outstanding, and he has a certain overall view, and his efficiency is higher than Thatcic. Especially in the success rate of breakthrough layups, he is second only to Alphabet Brother in the league, reaching 58.2%. Brunson actually had a certain reputation before he entered the NBA. He helped Stevenson win the championship in his junior year of high school, and in his freshman year he played for Villanova University, where he also led the team to the championship; in his sophomore season, the team did not lose one of the first 14 games under his leadership, and he also successfully entered the First Team.
In his junior year, Brunson also appeared on the list of the best teams in the United States by the media. And after the impact on the NBA, although Brunson has not done much in the previous two seasons. But after this season, I believe many teams have also seen the potential of him, although his versatility may not be so strong, but the ceiling is not high, but his immediate combat ability has a chance to become a team's championship puzzle.
