If you have a great NCAA tournament, I don't just dismiss that as a guy having a good six or seven games.
You are playing at the highest level of college basketball, and you're succeeding.
That should be top of a scouting report if I'm preparing to draft a guy in the NBA.
Yeah, Paulie?
I've got the draft profile of Jalen Brunson coming to college from a high-end analyst, a person you know.
I'm not going to give names.
And they project him as a high-end point guard backup, combo guard backup.
They said he's a little old to come in the league, and we may have seen everything he can do.
I hate that one, too.
All of what, 21?
22 when he started his rookie year.
They said he was a heavy-footed,
lumpy point guard.
Lumpy was a word used.
It's a tough word.
It's very negative.
It says great college career, very stable player.
You can count on him.
A great role player for a good team someday.
But there's nothing in here that says he could be a great NBA combo guard.
