Still prefer him in a bench role but obviously playing starter minutes (at least 25-30). With KP on the floor the Mavs already have on player that can be targeted on defense. Brunson is a solid defender but he is undersized and smart teams are taking advantage. Don´t like the amount of mismatches the Mavs give up when both are on the floor.
Good example would be yesterdays game. Mavs gave up multiple open 3s within 2-3 minutes. All on the same play call. Offball screen or hand off for Harris/Shamet. Brunson cannot get over the screen. Resulting in an open 3 for the Nets.
