My personal take on this: What Jalen needs to succeed—no matter the obstacle? A few reps. That’s all. He may struggle in game 1 of every series his entire career. But given a little time? No one makes money betting against Brunson. No one.

HELL. YEAH.

Unfortunately, that statistic isn't true. But it doesn't deny Ntilikina's impact since cracking the rotation, big step up from Josh Green on defense.

Best part of article linked above:

“The Mavericks play five-out specifically to punish teams for trying any trap Doncic, though if you don’t trap him, he’s just kind of going to fake, spin, dribble, and lurch his way in from the perimeter until he’s lofting a simple seven-footer over you, or he’ll just step back and can a jumper. He has also, crucially, dedicated himself to being a Little Fucker.”
