Defensively he is constantly applying pressure, forcing opponents to be sped up which leads to turnovers and rushed possessions.

One of the better two-way players in the area, he made a huge impact on their win over FFHS. He knocked down shots from the perimeter at a high rate and attacked the basket for buckets and drawn fouls. On the defensive side of the floor, he was just as solid, constantly applying pressure and making things difficult for the opposing guards.

Brunson impressed with his grittiness and ability to knock down shots for EE Smith in their convincing victory over Northwood Temple Academy. He showed he could finish at the rim and operate on the perimeter as a shooter with 11 points to pace the backcourt attack. He’s a prospect that JUCO and DIII programs should get eyes on.
