I think saying that he basically has improved each year as an understatement. He's made somewhat major progress each season. I'm one of the biggest advocates for tempering expectations and I'm lower on almost every single player than the general consensus of this board is. However, I think Jaylen is legit.Gomes3PC wrote:I don't think Jaylen will ever be able to get to the line at the elite rate Butler does, so he really needs to be a better shooter to impact the game at a similar level. If Jay is a 38-40% 3PT shooter in his prime, that would offset the FT disparity, but just as importantly he needs to keep developing that playmaking instinct. It's coming along this year, as it is clear his assist rate is up while ALSO keeping his turnover rate at an elite level. Jimmy didn't get his assist rate up over 20% like Jaylen is currently at until his 5th year in the league at age 26 (yes, SSS of 3 games, but still). If Jaylen keeps making steady progress there, he will push himself into becoming a top 15-25 player in the league.
Jaylen has improved basically every year he has been on the floor. He's a hard worker, he's stayed healthy, and his athletic abilities are nearly second to none. I won't doubt he still has plenty of room left to grow.
Assuming Kemba settles in at #3, Brown will likely be an all-star this year
