Yeah i love Jaylen, pumped him up before the draft, and he is an incredibly mature, intelligent guy, and is a very good prospect. But him and Tatum are on different levels, Jaylen is basically a non factor offensively if his outside shot isnt falling, and he is a pretty horrific playmaker.

He obviously has pretty big time upside, i've always thought he will be a better version (especially on D) of Jason Richardson, which is a damn good player. But the difference between him and Tatum is one is a guy who will make a handful of all star games, while the other is a superstar who is a perennial 1st or 2nd team all nba guy. And you can just see it when you watch them play. I love the fact that our "lesser" young stud is a guy with that type of upside.

Ray allen never had a bad game in the playoffs as a 21 and 22 years old, brown isn't in that level. You guys are fanboys.

Love Brown, but you have to trade him for AD... hesitation on Kawhi because of his injury and getting different reports about it.

Tatum is completely untouchable, especially in an AD deal.

Remember when Jaylen rattled off 30+ pt games in the Milwaukee series and then was untouchable again??

These threads about JT and Jaylen are ridiculous. Living in the moment. Their stock has literally gone back and fourth, up and down here on this forum or anywhere for that matter. I see that as a good sign.

Right now JT owns the moment. I'm not getting into who's untouchable and who's not because truth be told ain't nobody untouchable for the right price, if it makes the team better. I like both and don't see either one going anywhere.

No, If Kawhi and AD is available.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Ray Allen never played in the playoffs at those ages.

1. I at no point suggested Brown was on Ray's level now. I was making the point that Brown shooting bad in Game 7 doesn't make him an "inconsistent shooter" like The Corey's suggested. The fact is Ray had a terrible shooting night in an important Game 7 just like Jaylen did, and it didn't make anyone question the fact that he was a great shooter. It happens.

2. Ray didn't play a Playoff game until he was 23, so I'm not sure what point you're even making here.

It was a joke. Some people don't remember how old were the most stars when they started playing great in the playoffs, or how bad they were in some series and games even in their prime.
