This guy is hitting 40% of his 3 pointers. I'm almost stunned at this turnaround. Bruce has really worked hard and deserves a new contract



you dont give a guy money on a 15-20 game span especially when the rest of his career is nowhere near that kind of shooting. He has played great. id consider resigning him. im not prioritizing him over others though.


His shooting is the last thing I care about to be honest. He's been excellent all around.

I think he can keep it around 36% tbh. It's not like he's out there jacking up threes contested. He takes good wide open looks on low volume.

The volume piece is the key. He never takes a YOLO or heat check 3. He only takes wide open ones or moves the ball.


Yep. It is rare to see Bruce taking a bad shot. And when he does look to score it's always on aggressive drives or with the floater. \

He has been the 3rd best player on this team and it isn't close.

He's growth is undeniable, plus it's not like he's doing it on other team where we have to guess about his fit.
2. You also ignore first half of the season where chemistry was huge issue. It's no coincidence Brown spoke about it and actually delivering it. Dude shooting 49% from 3 post All- Star break. He's work ethic and improvement is a great story for us.
3. You put Joe on a trading block ( which is ridiculous ) thinking he's redundant without actually taking into account injuries and fit. Surrounding Ben with players like Joe is a must.

Brown is a must keeper period. How many games he missed since he got here? How much did he improve?

What he's doing with no system in place is phenomenal. He's priority #1 and that's not even debatable.

This all depends on Simmons because if he plays, he will be taking Brown's spot. The problem is that this version of Brown is just as good as Ben Simmons. So if he keeps this up, it's a no brainer and it would be much better to trade Simmons instead

I love Brown buts hes not Simmons.

Simmons is arguably the best defender in the NBA when healthy. Brown doesn't have the size to be in that conversation.

Except in the moments that matter the most i.e. the playoffs and the 4th quarter.
