Both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are pretty safe bets to make the final roster, and there's a chance they could be the starting forwards. Tatum shot very well in the controlled scrimmage that the media watched on Thursday, and Brown is arguably the most versatile forward in camp.

Brown has looked pretty freaking good in these videos. Kid looks poised for a great season. If I'm Danny I'd still see if he accepts like 25-28(maybe 29 mils) a year extension this summer. I've always been a supporter of his and always thought he has at the very least all-star talent. I'd take Brown over Murray 10 out 10 times. I think Brown has the complete package- athletic ability, length, strength, shooting, not afraid of the big moments, his 3 point shot has above average. If he improves his handles, which is a big IF, he can easily be a better version of Butler(who's shorter, confrontational as a person and a bit lacking when it comes to efficiency at times)...
Also has Brown grown like maybe close to an inch. Turner is a legit 6'11 guy. Brown was 6'7, 4 inches is a huge height advantage. It looks more like 3 to me.

The GB tells me Brown isn't good. This can't be true.

This would be a nice feather for those two, and put Kuzma in his place a little bit. It's not his fault, but I have to hate him

I think USAMB learned a bit from just having scoring star and scoring star back before the Redeem Team. Having glue pieces like Shane Battier, etc is good for team cohesion. If Marcus Smart can’t go, I think Jaylen’s the next best bet for that guard/forward slot

There's also the rumor that when Kawhi demanded a trade, the Spurs (and by extension, Pop) were really high on Jaylen.
