Remember when Jalen Brunson wasn't a "1A" player for an NBA championship-caliber team? It might seem like an eternity ago when that was a talking point in the NBA, but it was actually something that was discussed just last season. Now, Brunson has been the best fourth-quarter scorer in these NBA playoffs, by a wide margin.

Transparency is a key component of 247Sports' rankings. Whenever you're projecting a futures market, which is ultimately what rankings are, you're never going to get it fully right, but the goal is to be more right than the competition. While that requires adopting best practices that you don't necessarily want to fully pull the curtain back on, a big part of our success is just sweat equity – we're in the gym scouting, observing, and evaluating players more than anyone else, and it's undeniable.
