## Resource

Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson—both drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 2018—have taken wildly different paths. Luka, traded to Dallas from Atlanta, became a superstar, while Brunson, picked 33rd, just dropped an MVP-level performance in the Finals. It’s wild how Dallas ended up with neither. Meanwhile, top picks like Ayton, Bagley, and Jackson had mixed results, while late picks like Brunson, Bridges, and Porter Jr. proved their worth. Brunson’s rise is a masterclass in overlooked potential—proof that greatness can emerge from the draft’s depths. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
