“We traded for Luka Doncic, and then we had a No. 31 pick (actually 33),” Cuban said. And all the scouts said, Brunson, Brunson, Brunson… He is a winner. ‘He’s chubby, he’s not fast, he’s not athletic, but he’s a winner, he’s a champion, and you can’t measure that. ‘This is our people.”
In 2018, the Mavericks traded Doncic with the third pick in the first round and Brunson with the third pick in the second round.
