Summary
Jalen Brunson just lit up the NBA Finals with a 45-point masterpiece, proving smaller guards can dominate — and BYU’s Rob Wright is taking serious notes. Watching Brunson win MVP inspired the sophomore guard, who’s been following his Villanova hero since they’re from the same area. Wright’s own season has been explosive, averaging 18 points and nearly 5 assists while doubling his scoring output and shooting efficiency. Coach Kevin Young sees big potential, especially around the paint, but wants Wright to sharpen his decision-making and pass more. With parallels to Brunson’s college rise, Wright’s now focused on defense and smarter plays this summer — aiming to become BYU’s next big thing and a future NBA threat.
