This. THJ+Brunson are the best bench scoring duo in the league. THJ is 2nd in bench points per game and one of the best high volume 3-point shooters in the league (11th in made 3s). Brunson is one of the top non bigs when it comes to scoring efficiency (16th in the league in TS%, 5th among non bigs).
Quick comparisation:
THJ: 16.6/3.5/1.7, 44.8/39.5/79.3 58.7% TS
Jordan Clarkson, odds on favorite to win 6th man of the year: 17.2/3.9/2.2, 42.2/34.9/95.5 55.2% TS
