Jalen Brunson was a steal for the Mavericks, says Ex- Assistant Coach Darrell Armstrong:

“I always told him, when we got him, man, you're a steal. That's a steal for the Mavs. I tell people I don't understand some of these scouts in the NBA, these teams,” said Armstrong.

“You do all this with NBA scouts and team organizations; you go in-depth with his lifestyle, what type of person he is.

You should have known this dude was a winner coming out of college, because he won two out of the three championships he played in college.”

He added: “His dad's been an NBA player. He's been around NBA teams. He's worked out with NBA players, played one-on-one. So, I know all that stuff.

You drafted him because he's a winner, right? But you're dropping guys, saying "potential."

No, forget potential. I see this guy; he's won two out of three championships in the last three years.”

Ex-Mavs’ assistant coach Darrell Armstrong on Luka Doncic cooking Grant Williams in Practice:

“I just know there was some junk talking, and know Luka went on a rampage. I do know the gym was shut down after that,” said Armstrong.

“You must be careful who you pick with, they always say, hey, if he’s quiet leave him alone.”

He added, “Grant used to always do that, talk noise; that was his thing. He did it in the Miami and Boston series that one year. Leave people alone. He did it with Jimmy Butler, and what did Jimmy do? Jimmy got going.”

Former Buckeye Dontre Wilson on Julian Sayin entering year two: Last season was about learning on the biggest stage.

Now he knows the mistakes, knows the moment, and knows what it takes to follow guys like Stroud, Haskins, and Fields.

Do basketball fans actually watch basketball? I’m curious.

Because the way some people talk about players, coaches, & teams… I’m starting to think they just watch highlights, read box scores, & believe the narratives that are most appealing to them.

[Landon Buford @LandonBuford]

Beyond basketball, this exec floated something bigger.

LeBron James and Jaylen Brown have both been vocal on social/political issues. If PA Gov. Josh Shapiro runs for president in 2028, don't be shocked if both stars get pulled into that conversation, as endorsers or voter-turnout voices.

Hoops decides the season. Politics may decide the legacy. 👀
