Brunson is the perfect fit next to Luka. Been saying that for long now, and still do. Game 7 also showed in addition to entire these playoffs, that Brunson is also a playoff caliber player.
Brunson needs and will stay a Maverick. Because he is getting his points and fame next to Doncic, more than he would for other teams. He may even be a first option for a bad team, but he will never in such case make playoffs, yet alone WCF and potentially Finals.
Next to Doncic, Brunson is looking in multiple FInals and rings the next many years. And he is getting talked much more about than he would be mentioned leading a bad team to many losses.
The key for Brunson is how he gets single matchups, because teams are so focused on Luka. He and SD have both been amazing in taking advantage of it. It has helped their game, but it also has helped Lukas game. Because teams just cant double Luka any longer. When we had Barnes and Mathhews and Richardson, it was sometimes feasible to double Luka. Now if Luka is doubled, the ball ends in Brunsons hands or SD, and they kill teams. They kill defenses even if they are covered in single matchups without help inside.
For a bad team, leading them, Brunson being the first option will have a help defender waiting in the paint for him most of the time. He will be less effective. Luka and Brunson and SD are perfect fit, and with a strong big this team can win many rings in the coming years. If I were Brunson, I would chose that 10 times out of 10. Im pretty sure he enjoys being part of the team now, and his name is talked about a lot. Deservedly so, as Brunson has been fantastic.
