A short coaching/analysis clip by Ethan Khoza explaining how elite ball-handlers (exemplified by Jalen Brunson) beat defenders by changing not only pace but also playing level (high/relaxed vs low/explosive). Khoza emphasizes Brunson’s deliberate timing when switching between high and low levels to gain advantage.

Jalen Brunson is elite at changing his pace, but he does this in a couple different ways. Changing pace doesn't just mean changing how fast you're going. It also means changing the level that you're playing at. So sometimes you're playing nice and high and relaxed, and other times you're low and explosive. But he's very deliberate about when he's playing high and relaxed and when he's playing low and explosive.
