Between that and his dribble you really have to wonder if he's capping his potential on offense.

Maybe he will always be a complementary 4th or 5th piece on a championship team.

Basically a 6'8 version of Avery Bradley just trading Bradley's great finishing with Brown's great ability to get by his man on a drive.

He's a second-year player shooting 45% from the field and 40% from three. Let's give the kid another year or two, see what happens.


To compare Jaylen and Avery...is...yikes. Jaylen is already a close enough defender and much better offensively.


He's not on Bradley's level yet.

Going to the movies after the game with the family. It would be nice to not go there angry.

Need to get Baynes in the game, getting wrecked by the roll man over and over.

Booker is clearly no Frank Kaminsky

No dilemma at all. Tatum starts next year just like he did this year

Horford at the 5?

IDK about that.

I know we get on Smart for his shot selection. But, I think we've been getting it all wrong.

It's the open ones he shouldn't be taking.

He's not as good a defneder, but he's 21 and has much better potential. Props to Danny I had Jaylen at #7 or 8 in his draft. He could easily be the 2nd best player in the draft. He has that Jimmy Butler with jumper potential and he's working hard and improving non stop.
Good assessment:

Poor guard defense. That simple


Also not taking advantage of the matchups, whoever is being guarded by Ulis and Chriss should be getting the ball.

Then pick a movie you can sneak in free drinks and snacks or you will be.

This game is looking like we'll win but it'll be a waste of our collective time's. Just like last game.

I recommend you bringing some mini bottles of Jameson.

I may need to reconcile myself with the fact that we're not a dominant team despite the 19-4 record. We just make stops and make shots enough to pull off wins. And when everything goes right for a stretch or two, be rewarded with a blowout.

Surprised the panic level needle in the GT hasn't moved an inch yet -- just shows how bad the Suns are.

Thing about Jaylen, is that he can play the 3, also.

Bradley never could do that.
