Jalen Brunson is the current number one player in the NBA
I rank Jalen Brunson one. That's the whole point of winning a championship, is you get to spend an entire off season and saying your guy's number one. The whole point of winning a title is that then the next four months you get to just say, my guy, my best guy is the best guy in the whole league.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South
I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.
