Mavericks briefs: the Dončić-Brunson dynamic, plus staying grounded in good times

It’s a certainty that Jalen Brunson would be a full-time starting point guard for a lot of NBA teams.

The Mavericks aren’t a lot of NBA teams.

Luka Donu010diu0107 is their starter at the point and figures to be so for years to come.

So where does that leave Brunson?

In a very good spot, as it turns out.

Brunson has been averaging about 30 minutes per game over the last eight games.

During that time, he’s averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists. He’s shot 57 percent from the field, 39 percent from 3-point range.
