Brunson averaged 26.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.9 steals per game in his junior year at Stevenson (IL), which included a 56 point performance against Whitney Young and rising Duke freshman, Jahlil Okafor.
A smooth lefty, suited who up for Mac Irvin Fire this summer on the EYBL Circuit, Brunson played for the Team USA U18 team that won gold in the FIBA Americas event in Colorado Springs.
