Jalen Brunson’s ascent with the New York Knicks has already earned him All-Star selections, All-NBA cameos, and MVP consideration. It may also have put him on the track to the Hall of Fame.
ESPN’s Zach Kram recently took a look at which active NBA players are most likely to wind up in Springfield once their careers end. While Brunson does not rank among 19 locks, he appears in the “29-year-olds on the edge” tier. For anyone who interprets this as JB getting the short shrift, the group includes Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, and Domantas Sabonis.
