Jrue if the goal is winning. Brown if you need scoring.

I voted Holiday, but are you implying Brown doesn’t contribute to winning?

I’d say Brown slightly, but it’s close.

No.

I'm stating he contributes less to winning than Jrue, but that I could see team constructions where you might want Brown's scoring in an attempt to be relevant/sell some tickets. Jrue on a bad team is wasted. Brown on a bad team gives you something to sell.

"Better" depends on fit. If you swapped them, I think both teams would be worse.
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Jaylen would probably be ranked higher but as was mentioned above, they play different roles. Healthy Middleton vs Jaylen Brown is a more direct comparison though
