Brunson’s ability to shoot the three forces defenders to play tight to him and gets into his pull up off of shot fakes, dribble moves and hesitations. He is not the greatest athlete on the floor and knows his strengths, so he doesn’t always go up against bigger defenders but instead pulls up for the mid range shot. What separates his pull up from others is his footwork. It is the same every single time he pulls up with his inside foot hitting the floor first and his outside foot second. His feet are quick to the floor which allows him to quickly get up into his shot. Another area you will notice is how balanced he his. On many pull ups players tend to lean one way or the other or are falling forward or fading back, but Brunson’s footwork keeps him balanced. Below you can see how consistent and quickly he is able to get into his pull up.

Jalen Brunson has been gaining everyone's attention lately. Well, he deserves it because I know for a fact that he has always been a good basketball player. I am actually surprised because the attention he's ben getting right now is long overdue. He deserves to get it ever since because I've seen the potential from him that eventually became his strengths! I am looking forward for more success stories about him. Brunson is indeed a good player!
