Mark Cuban reveals there was absolute chaos in the Mavericks' draft room when they picked Jalen Brunson.
"I’ll tell you the old war room story, man. It was great... we traded up to get Luka, and we get to 31, and there are all the scouts that were like, 'JB, JB, JB, JB'"
"The scouts' were like 'He's a winner, yada yada. A little bit chubby, not quite as fast, not super athletic. But he’s a winner, he’s a captain, and you can’t put a value on that. That’s our guy'"
"Then we had Yogi Ferrell... and Yogi had just come in and torn it up. So there was a faction in the room that also was like, 'No man, if we draft JB, what are we going to do with Yogi?'"
"We went back and forth... the scouts won, and the decision was made to draft JB. And then Yogi took a deal with the Sacramento Kings."
