He has insane hunger and drive and he isn't afraid of anyone. JB doesn't care that the team has 3 other all-stars, he's coming to play night in and night out. Let's get it ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️Spoiler:

Specifically, right around the first shot of this mix from his rookie preseason:
Guys who look like that making that shot tend to be pretty good.
The 'he got so much better in his second season' argument never made sense to me -- just got more opportunity. But as Banners said, he has from day 1 looked like a S T U D. Hope he and Tatum stay humble and hungry and keep growing in all the right ways.

1) How grounded is JB in reality, suggesting that he and Gordon and Jayson all have similar games? (Hint: he's not a ball handler, play maker, or all-around offensive threat in skills, as the other two guys are.)
2) How does JB feel when Kyrie says he's excited to play with Gordon, who is the sort of SG he has always wanted to play in the same backcourt with?
Bonus question) Given #2 and that Kyrie has reportedly talked with AD about their playing together, do we expect Kyrie to go all LBJ on us and negotiate a JB (and TRo and RW3?) trade somehow, when allowed, to get AD here?

1. Maybe he meant that they share the same space as versatile wings and they can drive and all. BTW tatum isn't a playmaker at all, hayward playmaking and vision is like Lebron in comparison to tatum.
2. Hayward isn't a SG, he played as SG-SF his first years, in the last years he has played as SF-PF. So Brown shouldn't feel anything, just question irving basketball knowledge if what you said is true (the SG thing). I only heard that he wanted to play with hayward, not that he wanted to share the backcourt with a SG like hayward.

#2 is irrelevant, as Brad only sees the team as having 3 positions.
