Obviously these guys won't score as much with Luka in taking up the usage, but Luka/Kidd need to find ways to get these guys playing well again. Like it or not, that's what it is going to take to get to the next level.

Brunson is 9 for 28 in the series. He's averaging 11 points on 14 FGA a game shooting 30%. That's not good no matter how you slice it. It is close to his career PPG average though.
I hope he does step up again or else he can probably kiss that big payday goodbye. It will still be big compared to us normal people just not as big as it would have been if he had not played another game after the UT series. I don't know if he's capable of it though vs taller more athletic defenders. It's very similar to how the Clippers shut him down.
