Tyler Bey was drafted by the Mavericks after they traded for the 36th overall pick in addition to Josh Richardson.

Jalen Brunson becomes more of an outside threat

With the right situation, the right under-the-radar player can be an immediate breakout. A virtually unknown four-year graduate from a mid-major program could find himself with volume minutes in the Knicks lineup on Day One (We ve seen them do
