In the regular season.
Lets wait for the playoffs for this assesment. I am not claiming he will be bad, but I am also not sure if he can step up his game in the playoffs. I am expecting Lowry will do that, because he has proven it many times before. Brunson didn't. Yet.
I’m simply making a statistical comparison of two players. One of which is on the Mavs roster and one whom a lot of Mavs fans wanted to add this year, but like many before him - chose a different team. In making the comparison I’m also stressing to some, maybe yourself, that we can get caught up in the shiny new thing or what we don’t have - that we don’t always appreciate what we do have.
I think Brunson is a winning piece on a winning team and statistically he resembles a young Lowry. The things that have been pointed out, that can’t be measured, intangibles for both players, in their respective careers will be different. One is a proven 35 year old past his prime, the other is the younger version of that player.
