Jalen Brunson

Get stuck defending Jalen Brunson in a one-on-one situation and you better have help on deck. As the Phoenix Suns learned, sometimes even that isn't enough. Using a quick first step against an opposing big, Brunson keeps his intentions unknown until the last moment, faking a left-handed layup attempt in order to set up a teammate in the deep corner with a difficult assist. Without star teammate Luka Doncic in the lineup, Brunson stepped up his offensive attack admirably, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, nine assists and two three-pointers on November 17, 2021.
