I mean Brown's improvement is incredible, at this rate he's gonna score 20+ pts on 12 attempts soon due to more FTA's. You can teach and improve skill but you can't teach aggressiveness and mentality as easy.
Agreed

Why? He still sucks. I do give him credit when he has that rare good game.

Thing about Jaylen is he’s still so raw in just about every aspect. Shooting, dribbling, passing, team defense, FT shooting and he’s already an above average player. He’s barely scratched the surface of how good he’s gonna be one day

Brown is really setting the bar high with his improvement. But Tatum was much better than Brown his rookie season so it remains to be seen what kind of step he takes next season. Both are looking really promising. I agree that Tatum needs to be more aggressive but he’s doing fine for his role as of late.

Nah I wouldn’t say he sucks, Amir Johnson sucked, Kelly Olynk borderline sucked. He’s better than those, he is better than a lot of bench players in the NBA

The thing with Jalen is he's going to put in the work. He's all about the 10,000 hour rule so he knows what it takes.

Midseason I was critical of Morrris' shot selection. Was really a Blackhole. Guess it was my mistake for not having more patience. He improved to make me shut.up and eat crow.
