Jalen Brunson has officially signed with the Dallas Mavericks. The deal is for four-years with only three guaranteed, according to Yahoo!’s Shams Charania. Brunson will make an estimated $1.5 million his rookie season.
Drafted in the second round with the 33rd overall pick, the Mavericks raved about Brunson falling to them. They expected the former Villanova starting point guard to be off the board in the first round, especially because he helped win two NCAA national championships in his three seasons with the Wildcats.
“The guy is a proven winner,” Mavericks assistant vice president Michael Finley said on draft night.
