Jaylen browns next step

[GoGreen]

I think the kid has all star potential. His work ethic is nasty and you can tell he wants it. He's still raw, but look at his desire. It's there and I think that's what distinguishes him from most others who are going through the motions. As long as he continues busting his behind, he'll have a great career.

[Celts17Pride]

I’ll see that Jaylen Brown is starting to understand the game when I see he is averaging 3+ assists per game.

So Kawhi just started understanding the game last year? Interesting.

Leonard

14-15 2.5 apg in 32 minutes
15-16 2.6 apg in 33 minutes
16-17 3.5 apg in 34 minutes

Jaylen Brown

16-17 0.8 apg in 17 minutes
17-18 0.9 apg in 32 minutes

Brown needs to learn how to work the defense and not just be a bull in a china shop.

1. Kawhi just started averaging 3+ assist... which led to my initial response.

2. You're comparing Jaylen's first 2 seasons against Kawhi's 4th, 5th, and 6th seasons. Kawhi avg'd 1.1 and 1.6 assist per game during his first 2 seasons...

Brown's first 8 games of sophomore season: 0.9 ast per game
Kawhi's first 8 games of sophomore season: 1.1 ast per game

Best sign from Brown last night was going perfect from the free throw stripe. He can make a career getting there, needs to become an 80% shooter from the FT line over time. He's never gonna be a big time playmaker IMO but the guy can score and get to the rim quite impressively

he can learn to make plays, he can get himself into the right spots on the floor, from there it gets easy.

[vct33]

Jaylen still reminds me of a young Nique. I don't think he'll ever be a 30ppg, All-NBA player like Wilkins but his skill set, physique and body control seem very similar to young Nique. Nique couldn't shoot from the outside early in his career and he developed that part of his game very slowly. At 21, Brown is a better shooter than Wilkins was at 23, 24, 25.

[Fidel Sarcasmo]

He had pulled something in toward the end of the kings game. Wondering if they'll keep him out tonight.

The whole point is Brown needs to improve his passing. What's so hard to understand?

The Topis is called "Jaylen Brown's next step".

[jmr07019]

I thought he would take a little longer (a few years) to get down his shooting form but early results are very encouraging. I still think we will need his defense more than another PnR ball handler so I hope he and the Celts prioritize his D. With Kyrie we already have so many ball handlers and guys to run offense through between Kyrie, Horford, Hayward and Tatum.

You relating 3+ assist to a player understanding the game is what's hard to understand. I already stated that. It's a forum.. you say weird stuff and people respond.

Jaylen Brown doesn’t understand the game. He has one move, get the ball and shoot or go to the basket. Clueless. When his assists go up you’ll know he is starting to understand the game more. Just like Leonard

I disagree with this, you underrate his cutting ability and his defensive acumen. He's nowhere near a playmaker at this juncture but to say he doesn't understand the game is foolish to me.

Might as well say that AB didn't understand the game either. Guy was the worst passing guard I've ever seen

Jaylen Brown’s basketball IQ is one of the lowest on the team

Team has a lot of smart basketball players.

[Celts17Pride]

For the record Jaylen Brown one of my favorite Celtics. He just has a long way to go

[Kalela]

His handle is his biggest issue in my opinion. Kyrie probably has the best handle in the league and he is Jaylen's teammate. He should work with Kyrie to improve his handle.

[LobCityRondo2KG]

I think if Ball players got hockey assists JB would look much better in the assist department.. I think he swings the ball well and cuts well..

Brown don't understand the game at all. He just relies on his athleticism. This applies to both ends of the court.
You are also overrating him on defense. For soph, his help defense is not where it should, he don't play strong on defense and still a member of parachute club.

Him being a playmaker is a longshot. Low BBIQ, lack of passing skills and lack of feel for the game going to hold him back

[CSL_1904]

He had a tough first half, missed a ton of FT and still finished with a double-double against one of the best teams in the league.

That's Jaylen Brown's next step for you

[Braindesign]

He has his faults as any 21 y/o pro does

But the run towards winning the game tonight came from Jaylens will all over the court in the third quarter tonight. He knew he sucked in the first half and came out imposing his will.

Full faith in him to develop into a Jimmy Butler clone but arrive at that destination in his career much earlier. By age 23

[Wes-J]

Geezus the kid just turned 21. He's progressing, much better than last year so far. That's all you can ask for.

Where are the Kris Dunn, Bender fanboys?

Now work on your throws Jaylen.
