TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

Either way, the issue I have with your take was you thinking that JB is the better of the two players,

I'm sorry you have an issue with this. That is how I feel. I have a ton of respect for Brunson's game. I can see that many around here don't have as much, which is fine. I think he is top 10 in the league at THE most important skill of the modern NBA, particularly on THIS team that runs soooooo much pick and roll.

Luka was targeted because it makes sense to make the offensive focal point work on defensive side. Same as Mavs were targeting CP3, for example.

I'm not trying to make this "Luka vs. Brunson" on the defensive end. I just don't think Brunson's defense is anywhere remotely close to the negative that people claim here cavalierly on a daily basis.
