BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

He probably does have to let it fly a little more.  But his 3 percentage is a little down this year.  I would consider him an elite mid range player and very good at the rim, but only slightly above average from three.   Jalen is going to get high percentage shots most times.  It is a nice balance from the really difficult Luka, KP and Hardaway threes.   

He was 8-10 last night.  There is a strong argument if he continues his high percentage shots that he should be getting more shots though.

I love Brunson's mid-range game. No argument there. 

I don't love him passing up a great look on a catch and shoot to pump fake and drive ineffectively, resulting in the need to start a completely new action with much less time on the shot clock, and ultimately a less quality attempt than the original 3 would've been. That happened at least 2-3 times last night. It's a relatively small nitpick, but that's where we are with Brunson. He's playing well enough for us to get nitpicky, I think.
