An organization is built on many gambles, mostly small in size.
Draft Mohamed Diawara in the second round, for instance. Keep Mitchell Robinson past the trade deadline. Sign Jordan Clarkson. Unload Guerschon Yabusele and Jericho Sims.
Others are bigger: Replace the coach. Give up five first-round picks for Mikal Bridges. Sign OG Anunoby to a deal over $212 million.
But if you were drawing a tree of these moves — big and small — the one at the very top, the biggest gamble of them all, is on a small point guard, Jalen Brunson.
