Jalen Brunson

ANALYSIS
Though the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Brunson is viewed as a fringe first-round selection by most draftniks, there was little left for him to prove at the collegiate level after leading Villanova to its second championship in three years earlier this month and taking home Naismith National Player of the Year honors after averaging 18.9 points (on 52.1 percent shooting from the field), 4.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes per game as a junior. With the point guard off to the pro ranks, senior Phil Booth and sophomore Collin Gillespie are expected to initiate the offense more frequently in 2018-19.
