Brunson is the new whipping boy around here, maybe as much as Powell? I really like Brunson but this is an important year. He hadn't really earned regular rotation minutes until the second half of last season. I do think he has some ball hogging tendencies but I like his overall game. On the one hand, backup PGs are not too hard to find, on the other we are talking about Rick Carlisle. Finding PG's that Rick trusts is really hard.

I mean lets give him a chance this season before we write him off... lol?

True Brunson last year left a feeling that he didn't really improve much. He had some great moments, but overall it wasn't a big step forward and before we knew it he was out for the season from a shoulder injury. But before we say he "ain't shit" and he's the new whipping boy, lets actually see how he performs the first 10-15 games of the season.

If he looks more of the same, then I'll agree with you that we should sell high since he looks to be a solid 2nd stringer at best, but maybe he actually takes a big step forward and we found a good playmaking guard that can start next to Luka.
