Jalen 'Can He Play Alongside Luka?' Brunson

[Kammrath]

The advanced data show Brunson is quit good.  I’m just not sure if his value to the Mavs wouldn’t be higher in a trade.  He’s a pure point guard, and no one is supplanting Luka there as he has GOAT potential.  Brunson is too good to get 15 backup PG minutes, but not  really cut out to be a wing or play off the ball, like Wright is.  I think trade is his best future.

Brunson and Luka have not mixed well at all on the court.

This year their rating together on the court is +1.3 which is 4.4 lower than the team's overall rating of +5.7.

Last year their rating together on the court was -4.6 which is 3.1 lower than the team's overall rating of -1.5.

I think the experiment is over. Either Brunson only plays when Luka sits OR use Brunson in a trade. I vote for the latter.
