Jalen Brunson to return to Villanova for his junior season

Villanova Wildcats guard Jalen Brunson is returning to the program for his junior season.

The program announced as much on Thursday afternoon in a release they provided.

In his two years at ‘Nova, Brunson has proved to be one of the best young point guards in the conference and the rest of the country as well. After a terrific freshman season, which culminated of course with a National Championship, the suburban Chicago native made strides in nearly every single statistical category. Brunson averaged 14.7 points, 4.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game last year with a field goal percentage of 54.
