. PG. Villanova. Jalen Brunson. 30. player. 125

A solid reliable and consistent point guard (think Fred VanVleet). With all the outstanding guards in the draft at the end of their careers, I would wager a guess Brunson will be the last one standing.

"Steady, reliable, smart, consistent are all words you would want associated with your game entering the NBA Draft. They may not be sexy and they may not summon oohs and aahs, but they will serve Jalen Brunson well when teams are searching for a guard who can run their teams with confidence."

Full Preview Mr. Steady Jalen Brunson offers reliable skillset worthy of Presti magic deal

Team needs:

  • Center to pair with John Collins
  • Depth on bench at almost every position
  • Depending on whether the Hawks can move Dennis Schroder and/or Kent Bazemore their focus may shift.
