Brunson has never shied away from a challenge or been scared of an individual opponent, former Villanova coach Jay Wright told The Post.
Jay Wright remembers the look. It was a steely glare of determination without fear.
The 25-year-old Brunson, Wright said, has never shied away from a challenge or been scared of an individual opponent. Brunson has won at every level — from high school to college to the professional ranks. He led Team USA’s U-19 team to the World Cup title in 2015 and was the MVP of the tournament. He won two national championships at Villanova and was the National Player of the Year as a junior.
Now, Brunson is entering into a new world, as the Knicks’ point guard, a job in New York sports up there with being the Yankees’ center fielder and the quarterback of the Giants., and sky-high expectations to go with it. He is expected to fill a decades-long void at the position. A bull’s-eye will be on his back.Jalen Brunson helped Villanova to a national championship win over Michigan in 2018.
