How? I think both Hield and Siakam are both the better players right now. Brown has yet to have a season with a positive BPM. Per game stats or advanced stats for the regular season, both Hield and Siakam just had better seasons than Brown has ever had. Siakam just won a championship and put together a better playoff run than Brown has had.
I'm trying not to use any harsh words, but it is pretty [insert harsh words] to say Brown has "had a better career to this point" than someone who was arguably just the second best player on a Championship team.
Hield and Siakam's stats last year were much better than Brown's as well. They are both a level above him.
I became ineloquent as I made successive comments. It wasn't right for me to say he's had a better career so far. I was just pointing out he's appeared in multiple postseasons at age 22 and been good each time, because a lot of folks seem to have a very short memory. (He's like Nerlens Noel? Seriously?)
Pascal is the better player now but he's 3 years older and Jaylen has been more consistent in the postseason over his 3 year career. So while I wouldn't give Jaylen the max Pascal is getting, he's worth something more than 4/80.
Statistically, very arguable. But thats only if you give weight to what they did as rookies, where Pascal played 10 minutes total. In reality, Pascal has been much better in the playoffs by almost every measure.
He scores more
He's more effecient
averages more rebounds, assists, steals, blocks
It's actually kinda difficult to find any way to quantify your statement that Brown has been more consistent in the playoffs.
