Louis Riddick

Ryan Archidiakono was the starting point guard at that time.

Jalen Brunson could have started for 800 other schools, but he chose to go there.

Why?

Because the teaching, the fundamentals, understanding how to play the game the right way was very important.

It was valuable.

So now you get to Villanova, you're learning how to play off of two feet in between small, tiny spaces.

So take his already high IQ.

Combine that with what Jay Wright was doing and that system there at Villanova, and now you have the national player of the year, two-time champion.

Even though he went in the second round in the draft, people still question whether he could do it.

And now you have more space to play within the NBA, but yet and still the skill set has continued to develop.

That's why Jalen Brunson is so potent as a player, because he doesn't rely on athleticism, but he can get to a spot, use his body, create space, and excellent footwork.

But the NBA is littered with guys who don't look like they can be all-time greats.

Joker did not look like it.

Giannis when he got here.

Dirk was labeled soft.

Steve Nash, too small.

SGA.

SGA.

I mean, that's the beauty of basketball.

Yes.
