The regular season is thankfully over and now it is time for a Jaylen Brown wrap-up. After what seemed like a torrid second half, in the first season of what should be his prime years, Jaylen ends the season with these numbers (last year in parentheses):
Points per 75 = 25.5 (27.12)
TS+ = 100 (100)
3PAr+ = 83 (91)
3P+ = 97 (91)
FTAr+ = 98 (93)
FT+ = 90 (93)
His scoring load is less, team around him is better, he's getting a ton of free points off transition, and all those advantages were enough to prevent his rTS% from dropping for the 6th season in a row, finally allowing him to plateau.
His FTr showing an unmistakable downward trend since his rookie season (.293, .290, .255, .274, .225, .261, .249, .239)
On/off (CTG) = -8.9 (13th percentile).
-5.8 offense (15th percentile).
+3.1 defense (25th percentile). Single season on/off isn't very illustrative but the Celtics have been better on defense with Jaylen on just twice in his career.
DPM = 24th
EPM = 39th
LEBRON = 51st
His vaunted playmaking improvement numbers and improvement from last season in parentheses:
AST% 16.6 (+0.1)
TO% 10.7 (-0.7)
USG% 28.9 (-2.5)
Loathe to use the above numbers to capture playmaking ability but what we do have isn't very impressive.
Still the undisputed king of Lost Ball turnovers.
Jaylen's outside shooting:
r3P% = -1.2 (+1.4)
Corner 3 Attempts % = 20.5% (+8)
Fewer attempts, more corner 3s, a slight improvement in 3p shooting.
