Having crafted an incredibly decorated collegiate career at Villanova University, point guard Jalen Brunson has his eyes set on starting his professional career as he’s declared for the 2018 NBA Draft.

After being a vital part of the Villanova Wildcats’ basketball program over the last three seasons, point guard Jalen Brunson officially declared for the 2018 NBA Draft following the end of their NCAA championship winning season.

Compiling an illustrious career during his time in Radnor Township, Brunson capped off his time with the Wildcats in style this year, both on a team and individual level.

Winning their second title in three years, Brunson and a cast of very skilled, versatile underclassmen, which includes first round hopefuls Mikal Bridges and Donte DiVincenzo, etched their name in college basketball history once again under head coach Jay Wright.

But the accolades didn’t stop there for the 21-year-old as he was honored with the Naismith College Player of the Year, the Wooden Award and Big East Player of the Year, just to name a few.

While this season may have been the most accomplished campaign for Brunson across his stops in the amateur ranks, it’s a culmination of a distinguished journey, one that includes being named a McDonald’s American and earning a pair of gold medals as a member of the Team USA in 2014 and 2015, that has helped shape him into becoming a NBA-caliber prospect.

So without further ado, let’s break down Jalen Brunson’s game on both ends of the spectrum, see how draft experts rate him at this point in the process and examine his potential fit with the Milwaukee Bucks.
