Jalen Brunson 2015 PG

[Burnsbros23]

Going around Twitter we just offered him. Goes to Stevenson high in north suburbs of Chicago. His dad is Rick Brubson, did him and Ollie ever play together? Brunson is awesome he will be top 20 in 2015 when the rankings get updated.

If I remember right, initially we wanted a Travis Best (Ga Tech) and Brunson (Temple) backcourt and had to "settle" for Ollie and Brian Fair.

I don't think they ever did.

Pre-NBA both graduated in 1995.
From 1995-1997 both had stints on the CT Pride, but I'm not sure they ever actually played together or not.

Obviously they both played during the same time and probably competed for many of the same jobs, considering they were similar caliber players. It's pretty understandable that they would have never been on the same NBA team.

Some other UConn connections:
Brunson was a director of basketball operations from 2007-2009 at UVA under Dave Leitao.
He was also an assistant coach for the Bobcats this past year which had Kemba/Adrien and Gordon.
